Mr. Herskowitz from Los Angeles CA is requesting art supplies through DonorsChoose, the most trusted classroom funding site for teachers.

Zen and the Art of Watercolor

Help me give my students the supplies to learn how to paint with watercolors. Each of my students deserves to have new set of watercolors and brushes, as well as the correct paper.

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 Students

Recently our school became a STEAM magnet school, and we could not be more excited! Teachers work together in partnerships and teams to help students become life long learners. Our middle school students are mostly bussed in from outside our neighborhood, and our population of almost 600 students continues to grow!

Our Special Education scholars represent approximately one-quarter of our school population.

We are a Title I school based on our families' financial levels, and every student is entitled to free lunch. I work very hard designing lessons that have real-world applications, community based lessons, and academic excellence.

My Project

My visual arts elective class is a mix of general education and special education middle school scholars. This year I really want to introduce different styles of painting to them in an effort to help stimulate their creativity and general love of art, as well as their understanding and appreciation of how art is created. I selected these materials to give my students the tools they will need to learn how to do basic watercolor painting, how to mix paint, and how to blend colors. These tools will be used at different times of the year to help reinforce the techniques that they will learn.
