My Students

"The only time I feel alive is when I'm painting." Vincent van Gogh

The students of Antioch Tennessee, a part of the Metropolitan Nashville Public School system has a brand new elementary school.

The supply closets in the school need to be filled with materials that are as inspiring as the new building is! Our student population is very diverse consisting of cultures from all over. Please help our students have experiences as diverse as they are!

My Project

Today I am requesting paint and paper for the students in the art rooms. We are in need of lots of paper and some really sturdy paints that will aid in our student's exploration in creativity. We also serve about 800 students so our paints have to be able to withstand a lot of use! This is why we are asking for tempera cakes, they are durable and last a long time!

There is no price that you can put on the excitement of a child when you tell them that we are going to paint today!

Please help us light up our students with the learning experience of painting!
