Celebrate Black Teachers and Students

This project is part of the Black History Month celebration because it supports a Black teacher or a school where the majority of the students are Black.

My Students

During remote learning creating art at home can be very therapeutic, or difficult if you do not have all the supplies needed. My students are very enthusiastic about painting. We are virtually learning from home right now and I want my students to experience the one thing that we have only done in person, which is painting. My students are a part of a 100% free lunch community. We have students that need more resources to create quality artwork from home. The Obama Presidential Center is being built across the street from the school and our school building is going through a 3 year reconstruction process. The school received money from the city for reconstruction and the construction crew threw away a lot of my resources. I was able to get some supplies from the school budget but individual paint for each art student to use at home over extended our budget. We are not sure when we will be returning to in school instruction. To give each student their own paint will be very helpful toward providing students with the supplies, and therapy they need. It will aid in engaging with remote learning and provide social emotional learning.

My Project

These materials will provide students with resources that might not be available because we are a full remote learning school. If we were in school I would have enough paint, paper and brushes for each student to share. Due to remote learning I am not sure what supplies my students have at home to help them create adequate artworks.

Individual painting kits will be a great addition to the art kits we are providing for the students.

I have been able to create art kits for my students but buying individual painting kits went over our budget so the students have no painting supplies. My students are very eager to start painting and since we do not know when we will be back in the school building this donation will be a great help in providing engagement and social emotional learning from home.
