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 stdents are amazing! I teach art in a low-income district where most of my students receive either free or reduced lunch. Many of my students have a limited foundation to the arts, and have not been exposed to many artists, styles, art fundamentals. When they come to my class, they are funneling in from three different schools, with separate curricula.
I infuse them with a love for the arts by focusing on art as a form of communication between the artist and the audience, while encouraging them to find their voice.
We spend time developing their skills and techniques in order to give them confidence in using art as a vehicle for expression. My students love to question and search for answers. They are motivated and absorb information, and they continuously look for the connections between themselves and the world around them.
My Project
My art room is always buzzing with new creations as my students are constantly making art. They are inspired by artists and genres throughout history and enjoy making connections between themselves as artists and the world around them. Our art supplies are limited and their exposure to an assortment of media is limited to our yearly budget.
My students need a inkjet printer, ink and transfers to design, edit and transform their 2d art to fashion.
In addition to designing and wearing their own art, they will use this opportunity to create a printing business in school. They will develop marketing skills in order to raise funds for our art program. Please help me get my students the supplies we need for a continued successful art program.
More than half of students from low‑income households
