  • Hands-on Projects for Special Needs Art Students

    Funded Mar 16, 2020

    The students were so excited when they opened the supplies! They are between the ages of 13 and 17 and the all have a special need that sets them apart from the normal student body. At the same time, they all have something amazing about them that makes them so much more special than the normal classroom student. They instantly decided that the sand art was going to be the first craft they would make. Some students have problems with their fine motor skills, other students don't even question their physical set backs but in this class students are a team. It is fun to see them work together as a team. They help each other and discuss each persons ideas while they are in the creative process. They learn from each other and provide support to those who might not be so confident. We really could learn a lesson in behavior and team work by watching these students.”

    With gratitude,

    Mrs. Harris

  • Keep Students Supplied in the Art Room!

    Funded Dec 4, 2019

    One of the assignments that we have completed with some of the supplies sent is a cow skull mixed media drawing using charcoal pencils, graphite pencils, blending stumps, self-cleaning erasers and vine charcoal. They look amazing. The students were so excited when the new supplies came in and they figured out they would be the first to use them. This is an advanced level class and they really appreciate the advantage to new, nice supplies that don't have to be shared with the student body (until they are completely finished with them).

    We live in a farming community and lots of the students are familiar with farming and ranching, they really enjoy when I bring in the big cow skulls with the long horns and set them up studio style under lighting. The science teacher comes in a speaks to them about the different ages of the cattle and the different information that can be scientifically collected on each skull by looking at different things on the bones and the teeth. I use this scientific reasoning to point out to my students different ways to see details in their subject matter. The students seem to really enjoy this project and I think they did absolutely amazing on it.

    We actually created a second project with the 1/4" masking tape that was ordered with the supplies. The students designed faux stained glass windows using colored tissue paper and the tape on our classroom windows. They followed a set of guide lines and pinstriped the paper together with the tape. At completion on the project, they took a black dry erase marker and outlined over the tape to give the window a more stained look. This was extremely fun and the students really were excited to see their finished products. At night I leave the classroom light on so that you can see the artworks from the highway, the community is really enjoying it as well.”

    With gratitude,

    Mrs. Harris

    This classroom project was brought to life by An anonymous classroom supporter and one other donor.
Students will use and benefit from these supplies by not losing their creative momentum. They will not have to wait on their creative processes until they buy new supplies and they more importantly will better be able to avoid the dreaded artist block when it seems like simple issues stand between you and completion. No matter how hard the teacher works to estimate supply count and conserve through out the year, there are always a few simple supplies that students run out as the school year progresses. The items on this list are several supplies that get lost or damaged or that the classes normally run out of quickly. Some students are able to by new personal supplies but others cannot. Students whom cannot afford to buy these supplies need to same opportunity at a creatively finished project, your donation will help prevent this from happening. Hopefully something as simple as a new art supply at the end of the school year or at the end of a long project, could be the re-fueling tool that a student needs to keep going.
