This project will be used for students to explore their creativeness in my classroom. There are many months and weeks that students spend taking tests and state exams. Having art in my classroom will allow them to enjoy learning and create students who are lifelong learners. Many of my students have expressed interest in art and design. The goal is to have an outlet for my students to express their creativity and decorate our classroom how they like. They will create an environment with their personal touch and style. There are many games used to learn in a fun and interactive way. Students in my district have limited access to technology. Giving them these tools will allow them the opportunity to have access to technology that will be beneficial to them. Students will have the opportunity to explore different options of skills through paper cutting, shirt making, and other creative projects.
