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 live in the Bronx. I serve a diverse group of students from kindergarten through fifth grade. Many are English language learners and come from low-income families. They are so excited to have a visual arts class where they can express themselves. I will be visiting classrooms in a blended capacity and a large percentage may be working remotely this upcoming school year. I see several classes on a remote only basis as well as those in the building

My art class is a safe haven where students can feel free to take creative risks and express their emotions.

Students in my school typically don't have access to art supplies at home. They are bright, creative, and eager young scholars. They would all really benefit from your support with materials and mediums which they don't get to use except in our art classroom.

My Project

My students have been through a lot this year and are still really excited for in school learning and art making. Many have returned full time this week, while some remain in blended cohorts. We all agree that Art is the BEST part of the day and look forward to the creativity and expression it brings.

Let's help them stay creating with some bold black felt tip pens to outline their artwork and get it ready for that extra pop of color.

Traveling with paint has been a challenge but we love using Kwik Stix tempera paints to get the look of paint in a fast drying and portable way. Neon and metallic colors are so fun and expressive. Glue sticks are an everyday necessity and we need to restock at this point in the school year to keep the collages going.

Thank you for seeing the everlasting value and enrichment that visual arts bring to our elementary school students.
