  • Creative Cricut

    Funded Jan 2, 2024

    My students will be thrilled! I can’t wait to share their creations with you! Having access to a tool like the Cricut is going to inspire and motivate students. I’m going to be able to use this with students for many years to come as an added bonus!”

    With gratitude,

    Ms. McKay

  • Creative Graffiti Project

    Funded Oct 21, 2021

    My student absolutely loved using spray paint to create graffiti as well as stencils. Everyone was engaged and got to enjoy creating are out doors. For many students, spray paint was a medium that they had been wanting to explore for a long time and they were very excited at this opportunity.

    I was also able to purchase enough paint to make this project last for multiple classes over the course of the past 2 years and still have more paint left over. My students are looking forward to using it once the weather turns nicer in the spring and we can work outside again.

    Thank you kindly for helping give Roosevelt students this experience!”

    With gratitude,

    Ms. McKay

In this project students will learn about the imapct of graffiti and street artists from the past as well as artists currently working. We will explore lettering styles, meaningful themes and subject matter and continue to apply the elements of art and principles of design. Students will be able to express their creativity and engage in art-making in a way that is meaningful to them by learning how to spray paint stencils and lettering. Many students in my classes have not had the opportunity to use these materials and have always wanted to. Your donations will help spark the imagination of a new generation of artists!
