With these materials, my students will be able to express themselves through art and by using their creativity. Since my school does not offer art as a special class, I want to incorporate art into my math, reading, and science lessons! I plan on giving students a variety of options to express themselves and complete projects. I have never been able to expose students to different mediums and I believe using different mediums will enhance my student's creativity. After a year of online learning and lack of any type of art materials or lessons, my students are in desperate need of hands on activities that will stimulate their senses and open up their minds to new thoughts and ideas. Art is perfect for stimulating minds and motivating hearts. "Creativity is allowing yourself to make mistakes and art is knowing which ones to keep."-Scott Adams Please help me bring this curriculum to life for my students. I so appreciate any consideration.
