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

My students are eager, enthusiastic young artists. They come into the art studio willing to learn, take risks, and explore their creative potential. Through our time together, I have had the opportunity to know them as individuals. Many have come up through hardships in their childhood that are more than anyone should experience in a lifetime, yet they persevere. A large portion of my school's demographic receives free lunch and other services.

When they enter the art room, they find a space that is welcoming and supportive.

We use many of our projects to reinforce learning through their academic courses and to support STEAM in our school. My students want to be positive members of society, want to participate in problem-solving, and want to find success in their academic endeavors. My students' eagerness for learning surpasses expectations. I take honor in my role as their art teacher. I hope to inspire, motivate, and open their ideas to creative endeavors.

My Project

For this proposal, I am requesting sturdy paper storage for our paper goods as well as our rolls of vinyl. Additionally, I am asking for some stencil vinyl and etching cream. As my art students learn how to enjoy the art making process, they are also learning how to properly maintain and take care of our materials. We also find it very frustrating when our paper gets ripped and ruined because we cannot store it safely. The requested shelves will hold many of our different sizes of paper, card stock, and vinyl sheets and rolls. This project will allow us to organize our paper by color and type, which will make the art making process more smooth and enjoyable.
