  • Art Is in Our Hearts

    Funded Jan 17, 2024

    My students have used the brushes and clay to create amazing garden decor for our campus beautification projects. Thanks to you, my students now have sketchbooks that they can use in class, something that they weren't able to use before. My students were low on black and white QUALITY color pencils for projects that will help them get into high school and enter art competitions, but now they can create to their heart's satisfaction. We are continuing to create beautiful work and continue to highlight the importance of arts education. Art is truly in our hearts!”

    With gratitude,

    Ms. Garcia

  • Multi-Cultural Art Exploration!

    Funded Jun 24, 2021

    Thank you for allowing us the opportunity to explore such wonderful materials and resources in our classroom. Students got started exploring Suminagashi right away! We used the Suminagashi kit and the paper to create sketchbook covers for our sketchbooks we will keep throughout the year.

    The students were very excited to know that they were going to be able to use quality grade paper for their important projects. Most students have never had the chance to experience higher quality art materials.

    We are going to continue exploring multi-cultural art in our classroom. Our next steps are to dig into our own cultures and explore our own identities by drawing self-portraits!”

    With gratitude,

    Ms. Garcia

    This classroom project was brought to life by Walmart and Brandon Maxwell and 4 other donors.
At the start of the pandemic there was so much uncertainty. I worried about things like whether students would be able to afford materials that we put on our material lists or whether they would be engaged. Many of our students remained virtual during this school year, and they were limited to materials that they had at home. I would discuss with them various art forms and processes, but they were just that: discussions. They never got the chance to experience the fun of hands-on learning. By donating to this project you will give students the chance to experience a variety of art forms and expand their understanding and appreciation of art past our little classroom in Texas. My students will be able to create Suminagashi water marbling in the Japanese style, not just imagine the process. They will explore the style of European Renaissance paintings by painting one themselves and not just talking about it. They will study the portraits of Latin American artists and paint one of their own. My student's love for art and creative expression has persevered during these difficult times, this donation will help continue that love for learning that they so fiercely have.
