My Students

Color exploration is one of the most exciting learning experiences!

The students in our elementary school come from a variety of backgrounds and cultures.

Many of these students would not have the opportunity to explore art if they were still in their home countries. Being a teacher in the land of opportunity, I want to provide as many learning opportunities for my students as I can.

My Project

Today I am requesting tempera paints, watercolor paints, and brushes to use along with the paint. There is no better way to learn about color mixing, then through using paint. The colors flow together better with paint than with any other material. With these paints, I can teach my students the magic of color mixing.

Creating art is one of the few abilities that sets us humans apart from other animals.

By helping my students receive paint, you are giving them the chance to use this ability and learn about color mixing!
