FULLY FUNDED! Mr. Jimenez-Torres's classroom raised $561
This project is fully funded
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 Project
Create a Stunning Zentangle Animal Project with Sharpies!
Students will design their own unique Zentangle-inspired animal artwork using Sharpies (Fine Point and Ultra-Fine Point), mastering grid scaling and proportion in the process.
This project has been successfully taught across multiple grade levels, consistently producing impressive, high-quality results.
Beyond fostering creativity, this lesson enhances critical observational skills and provides a practical, engaging introduction to using grids and scaling—an essential math skill. Students gain confidence and skills in Art and Mathematics.
The reason why I am asking for this funding is because over 50% of my students are on free and reduced lunch. It is not feasible to ask my students to pay classroom fees for Art supplies.
More than half of students from low‑income households
Data about students' economic need comes from the National Center for Education Statistics, via our partners at MDR Education. Learn more
