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 never had art class before and have access to very basic supplies with limited color choice. They have never had he chance to accurately represent their skin tones in their artwork. This donation of skin tone crayons, colored pencils, paint and paper will help them to connect to their art, see themselves represented in other works of art, and boost their self confidence as students and artists. They can be proud of their various shades of skin and recognize that everyone, while different, is still the same on the inside.
