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

My students have boundless creativity and I want to give them the tools they need for success. As they have progressed through this year, I've realized that they are slightly limited in the paint palettes that we have in the art room.

I want to give my students the opportunity to use colors that are as bright and eye-catching as their work deserves!

These neon colors come in tempera cakes, which is the medium of choice for most of my students: it's easy to use, easy to clean up, and the colors would make a dazzling addition to their already remarkable work!

Ms. Peterson will only receive her materials if this project is fully funded by August 1.
