  • Building A Restorative School Community

    Funded Jan 6, 2018

    I write this thank you on one of the coldest days of winter so far. My students have not been in school this week due to lack of heat and boiler problems within our building. Your donations will help our entire school community, not just my classroom, with setting up a space full of resources to help them feel safe and recognize that school can be enjoyable. Your donations will be used to their fullest! I am so excited to share with my colleagues and educators the mid-year “gifts” you have given us. As we continue on building relationships and developing ourselves as a restorative practice school, please know your support is recognized and appreciated!”

    With gratitude,

    Ms. Thrasher

    This classroom project was brought to life by An Anonymous Funder and 21 other donors.

  • Authentic Inquiry & Art Making With Technology

    Funded Dec 29, 2017

    Your support will allow me to more effectively implement technology in the classroom. I am so grateful for your donations that will support more integrated, relevant learning in my class. My students will now have another outlet for expression, a way to document their artworks and works in progress, and also “stretch and explore” with new digital mediums. Thank you donors!”

    With gratitude,

    Ms. Thrasher

  • Screen Printing Wearable Art

    Funded Aug 24, 2017

    We are so thankful for your support and donations in our classroom. These materials allowed my students to have a highly engaging and relevant art project where they were able to design their own t shirts. They learned how to collaborate, assisting each other in the printing process, helping others refine and edit their designs, and critiqued each other's work. They were able to practice printing on paper, so they could have multiple copies of their work. Also, the screens will be able to be re-used year after year, so they are an investment for many more projects to come. My students truly appreciate your effort in helping us develop a unique art making experience.”

    With gratitude,

    Ms. Thrasher

    This classroom project was brought to life by An Anonymous Donor and 12 other donors.

  • Help Expand Our Visual Arts Curriculum with Printmaking!

    Funded Dec 24, 2016

    My students recently completed a project on hand lettering in art, culminating in a linoleum block print project. They picked meaningful typography and chose a word that represented themselves. They practiced carving linoleum, a kinesthetic process unfamiliar to my students. Next, they created test prints in order to revise and edit their work, as well as engage in the printmaking process. Finally, they created backgrounds and printed their words on top, creating a limited edition set of prints. My students were 100% engaged with the materials, and I was excited to teach them because my undergraduate major was in printmaking.

    Next, I am going to be teaching a similar unit to an older group of students. They will pick a "mantra" rather than one word. I am so excited to see their products!

    Thank you donors for making this dream project come to life!”

    With gratitude,

    Ms. Thrasher

Printmaking, a way to create multiples in art, is a relevant and engaging way for learners to understand more about mass-produced and distributed images within the world around them. I am asking for a class starter kit for my students to create EZ-cut linoleum prints, foam prints, and Jacquard Solar Inks, that will allow students to create images on transparencies that are then exposed to light on paper. I was given a budget of $500 for the year, but I would love to provide my students with art-making prompts that require special supplies that engage them in learning. These printmaking supplies will offer my students a way to engage in art-making processes in authentic and hands-on ways that go beyond the traditional classroom experience. My students come from impoverished communities and many have dealt with serious traumas before entering into my classroom. I would like to approach my projects from a trauma-informed lens that allows art-making to become cathartic and therapeutic. I know that printmaking engages learners because of its multi-layered and tangible processes that are involved. Your donations will expand my visual arts curriculum, so that the arts will continue to be seen as a vital and critical component in students' education and lives.
