This project is part of the Black History Month celebration because it supports a Black teacher or a school where the majority of the students are Black.
My Students
The students I teach are in middle school grades 6th through 8th.
My students are given an opportunity to learn about art, experience art, question art, and create their own art.
Students are encouraged to make their own meaning out of the art and have fun creating their own masterpieces!
My student population is diverse and has a wide range of learning abilities. They are a mixed bunch of general education, special education as well as gifted and talented students. In addition, about 50% of the student population receive free lunch.
My Project
My students frequently need references and information when creating their artwork and I've been slowly trying to build an artroom library. My students do not have access to computers in the artroom so art room books are a great alternative.
An artroom library is also a great way to build and use literacy in the artroom.
Visual resources are also a great tool for my ESOL students that may not have a grasp of the language but can follow a how to draw or look at pictures for inspiration.
By donating to this project, you will be helping establish a permanent collection of books for our artroom.
