There is something about painting on canvas that makes my students feel like an artist. Using paint that isn't just watercolor and getting brushes that are better quality, they feel important, like what they create matters. They take pride in what they paint and are completely engaged. Every time I give them a special brush and a canvas and talk to them about painting they light up and want to experience what artist before them experienced. I would like to think that I somehow have contributed to helping create artists of the future. Using these paint, brushes, and a canvas will allow me the opportunity to enhance their experiences in art making and make it easier for them to share their experiences with others.
