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 Project

Howdy! This project was created with my talented art students in mind, that are needing art supplies to practice and prepare for their art competition of next year! VASE is an art competition that’s state wide in Texas and students from all over are able to showcase their talent with any mediums they choose.

The supplies listed will be used to host workshops months prior to their competition and prepare students to create their final artworks!

The art students have shown dedication, curiosity, and passion throughout this school year on wanting to explore different mediums and with the art supplies/ snacks, I’ll be able to host these workshops for them and give them the extra help!

Grades 9-12
