This project is fully funded
Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month
This project is a part of the Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month celebration because
it supports a Latino teacher or a school where the majority of students are Latino.
My Project
The acrylic paint pens, Color of the World pencils, art pencils, modeling clay, 2 oz storage containers, and Color of the World paints will empower my students to fully engage in their artistic expression and help them develop creativity. These materials will allow them to explore different art mediums, experiment with color and texture, and bring their ideas to life in ways that are meaningful to them. The Color of the World products are particularly important because they represent a diverse range of skin tones, helping my students feel seen and represented in their artwork. These tools will foster not only their technical skills but also their self-confidence and emotional expression.
My primary goal for this project is to create a rich, inclusive, and supportive environment where my students can fully explore their creativity and express themselves through art.
I want to provide them with high-quality, diverse materials that will allow them to expand their artistic skills and vision. I also hope this project will build their cultural awareness and emotional intelligence by using art as a tool to connect with their own identities and the world around them. I aim to inspire my students to develop a love for art that lasts beyond the classroom.
My students come from diverse backgrounds, bringing cultural richness to our classroom. They are curious, resilient, and eager to learn, but often lack access to the resources to help them explore their full creative potential. What makes them special is their ability to see the world through a lens of creativity and wonder, and my goal is to provide them with the resources to nurture that unique spark.
