Where is the new Picasso? Perhaps in my classroom, waiting to discover the passion of his or of her life! Oil paint is very expensive and many of my students' families cannot afford expensive oil paints. It would be wonderful to have a reserve to which economically challenged kids can have access. No more worries about not having the appropriate materials. No more worries about using low quality paint that will not cooperate with my students' dreams. This is why I am asking you to please consider funding 19 sets of Mont Marte oil paint that the students will mix to work on their portrait soon. I cannot thank you enough for considering this gift to my classroom. Thank you for your consideration!
