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 Students
Do you remember how fun it was to color with colored pencils in art class? How about shading and blending them to make new colors? Well unfortunately my students only have gray pencils and we need to make our world colorful!
I am the art specialist in a K-5 Arts school.
We are located in one of the poorest rural areas of the state. Our families are plagued by poverty and high unemployment rates. I see about 975 students every week, from Kindergarten though grade five. All of the students receive free or reduced lunch. The student population is 95% Hispanic, 3% African American, 1% Caucasian, and 1% Asian. About 70% of the students in my room are learning English as a second language.
My Project
My students need an assortment of new colored pencils and crayons to add color to their creations. I need two class sets since more than one student will need multiple colors at a time. Colored pencils and crayons, what could be more basic? We create realistic portraits, surrealism and perspective almost every day. Students blend and mix materials they never thought about mixing. Help us give color to their ideas.
Your donations are appreciated now more than ever.
I currently have no budget this year for having almost 1,000 students. Art is an area that is cut first and often the deepest. Students who take art become more creative in their other classes and often do better in them as well. Thank you for taking considering my project.
Nearly all students from low‑income households
