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

Art is a universal language. It cuts across racial, cultural, social, educational and economic barriers and enhances cultural appreciation. The study of art also improves student learning in other academic areas. And, it is fun!

My students are enthusiastic artists.

They love to do anything in art from painting and drawing to ceramics and weaving. Many are ELL learners as they have just immigrated to our country. Their parents are eager for their children to succeed in their new home and show a great appreciation for our cultural climate. Many are artistic at home, so the students bring that love of art with them to class. This project will be homework for a few lucky art classes. They will use the Model Magic home to create something unique for our art class that represents their family life at home with their family and their parents. This will hopefully create a artful collaboration between art students, parents, and school art. We will have a show in the library when all Model Magic projects are done.

My Project

My students need four class packs of Model Magic. Our school is a Title One school and does not have funding for the art programs, it is something that the art teachers have to find themselves. Well, they provide some of the basics. That is why I write Donorschoose.org projects to find traditional and modern materials for my students to experience in art class. We do a lot of drawing and ceramics. This is our second year in a small trailer so it is difficult to do easel painting, which we used to love. Our classes are usually 25-30 students, so space is of the essence. We put 110% into our art projects and our art work shows it! This are project is to reflect the students' home life by creating a unique art work. They will be using creative and critical thinking skills to come up with a unique ceramic art work. Finally, it will be on display for our school community to share.

This project is for very basic Crayola Model Magic.

It is a community based where the students' work reflect their home life. Hopefully, this will unite students and their parents in a creative library show that all will delight in sharing with our school community. My students love working with clay. Creating a work that represents their love of family is important. Please consider donating to our project, because the Model Magic clay will be by both my creative art students.
