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

My students come from a rural town in the mountains of Utah that has not had an art class in over ten years. This is an underprivileged community of amazingly talented and creative students. I just love how committed and dedicated they are to art. I started out by volunteering my time until we could get a real class. Now I have three classes and a college credit class. We now have easels and drafting chairs and a well-equipped art room because of the donors like yourself.

My Project

This is an addition to the new supplies I have gotten in sculpture this will give the students more clay and paint to create big sculpture projects that are colorful and fun. It is important to keep an art room stocked up with paint clay and all the supplies necessary for the students to express their creativity with complete freedom. This has brought students into the art room who normally are hesitant to draw or paint but are excited to sculpt. These supplies will help the students learn and experience a new art technique.
