Celebrating 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 love working with different art mediums and materials to create a variety of unique artworks. They have shown a particular interest in painting, watercolor and acrylic specifically. Not only is painting therapeutic and helps my young artists use flowing materials in an expressive way, but also gives them insight into all aspects of the art making process. Especially the "unfun" steps like cleaning and replenishing supplies for the next person.
With these reusable materials it is my hope to not only teach my students painting techniques but to also help foster a culture of responsibility for their own art education and supplies.
Not only will these items help cut down on the amount of waste discarded in my classroom (no more throwing out whole watercolor palettes because a color or two have ran out) but will also help me instruct my scholars on the proper care and maintenance of art making materials. With their effort and care, these supplies will hopefully be used by my future students for years to come.
The empty trays and oval refill pans will also give my artists the opportunity to choose their own colors and customize their palettes, helping them create art that is even more unique to them. I have found the more options I am able to provide for them, the more I can focus on my students' individual education and success. Thank you for helping me provide my students with quality sustainable materials and giving me the opportunity to instill responsibility and individuality in my developing young adults.
