The materials and art supplies will be used to bring color into the room with the color pencils and markers. Students' art will be displayed throughout the room and the hallway using the sticky magic or Velcro dots. The students will be able to show their talent. Art is an important factor in helping my students to express and communicate their emotions. I feel that art can help my students to build self-confidence and create what they envision. Some of my students are nonverbal or have speech impairments. The markers will bring color into their lives without having to speak. Working with them will let me know what is on their minds and how they see different things. With the holidays upon us, they can use the colors and markers to bring it all to life.
