Essay exerpt from 2019....
Mrs. Tatiana Hernandez Pedrosa has been a Visual Arts Educator for 13years. She has inherited class sizes of 47 students every 50 minutes and a huge classroom with zero supplies. Fortunately, this wasn’t my first rodeo. If gifted this funding, we would like to revive the ceramics elements but need our kiln inspected. Because I teach 250 students every day, we go through a lot of materials.
Paint Around Event Program
Students are happy, challenged, growing, and learning. It’s not easy for us but we are chugging along. Please help us. Together we’ve tackled perspective drawing, paper-mache masks, 3-D weaving and soon—puppet-making. It’s my honor to work with them and provide them with materials that excite them.
