Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

Celebrate 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 Students

Our diverse and lively student population has 5 classes of Computer Graphics and Design students taught between myself and another teacher. Students come from various backgrounds, all grade levels and have a wide spectrum of experience in Computer Graphics skills.

While some of our students have taken previous visual arts classes, most have entered into this year-long course without having an art class for a few years if not at all.

Some students are entirely new to the formal school setting experience having come from another country. This is a good representation of our community which has always welcomed people coming from different countries from around the world. In addition we also serve some students who identify as Native American from local tribes or from elsewhere in the North and South American continents.

My Project

We are looking to round out the most ideal seating in our Computer lab. Students who have great seating in a conducive work set-up are more likely to be productive. We currently have a mish mosh of new desk chairs, old dilapidated chairs without comfy cushioning and ones without wheels.

A computer lab with durable, flexible & comfortable seating grants students the ability to work with ease while having proper lumbar support and the option to adjust to the height needed to best view their monitors.

Students are working on a wide array of design projects from editing photos, creating digital collages to designing mock-ups for imagined products. We aim to provide experiences to students pursuing graphic design as a creative outlet and those who are interested in a career in Design and related fields.
