  • Light Up Our Lives!

    Funded Nov 29, 2022

    Thank you so much for your donations! This will definitely take my students art to the next level! I know they will absolutely love what they can do with these light tablets! We currently don’t have anything like these in our art room. Often students use sunlight and the windows to supplement for these light tablets!”

    With gratitude,

    Ms. Pearson

  • Cabinets for Clay Creations!

    Funded Sep 9, 2022

    Thank you so much for investing in my students. You do not realize how much students feel unimportant and your support shows them that they matter. You are providing a new experience for an entire school. Your donation will allow me to teach clay to all of my students. I cannot wait to share with you the magic that they make with clay. It is truly incredible what they are able to accomplish when others believe in the importance of them and of art. Art doesn't just teach them skills, it helps them cope, it helps them express, and it helps them explore. You are amazing and I appreciate you!”

  • Art Class Basics!

    Funded Oct 7, 2021

    My students are so grateful for your donations! We have done all sorts of projects including these custom sneaker designs, watercolor paintings, tempera paintings, and styrofoam prints. Soon we will be working on murals outside of our school! Without your help we wouldn't be able to do any of it. From the bottom of our hearts we want to thank you so much! My students have been so excited to do these projects! Thank you for making our dreams a reality! You truly made a difference in the lives of my students!”

  • Pandemic Prints, Paintings and Sculptures!

    Funded Sep 24, 2021

    Some of my students are working on claymation movie sets! You made this possible! Your donations helped us get the sinks we use to clean and take care of our paintbrushes. In addition to that, we have done watercolor paintings, tempera paintings, and styrofoam prints. Without your help we wouldn't be able to do any of it. From the bottom of our hearts we want to thank you so much! My students have been so excited to do these projects! Thank you for making our dreams a reality! You truly made a difference!”

  • Art Kits for Kids!

    Funded Sep 6, 2020

    Thank you so much for making them possible! The students love their art kits. Students have used them to make all sorts of art. I even added some material we ordered for the classroom we didn't get to use like model magic and paper. They are having so much fun and learning a lot! They are practicing shading, layering media, and now we are currently doing an animation unit.

    The students were so excited to get the supplies. The school organized an event in which different partners came together to host a socially distanced school fair when we were allowed to. The student were able to receive their kits contact free and loved it. I included some pictures of the event. The masks covered up their smiles but I could hear them in their voices!

    My next project will be to fundraise money for plastic filler for our school's 3D printer. We have been working in Tinkercad, a website that you can build 3D objects in and print out using a 3D printer. Keep an eye out for our next fundraiser!”

    Ms. Pearson

One of the best things about art class is the hands-on part of art-making. It is the opportunity to investigate, explore, and creatively problem solve. My students will begin art class virtually with digital assignments, but I want to offer projects that get the students away from the computer and physically making art again. I hope that these requested art kits can create an equitable opportunity for all students to succeed and express themselves in art class and throughout this pandemic. Hands on projects can be very unfair to students who cannot afford art supplies. These art kits will allow the students to do a variety of drawing projects at home like a long term sketchbook project, portrait drawings, and more!
