  • Oil vs. Water with Watercolor Paint and Oil Pastels

    Funded Aug 10, 2022

    My students have been thrilled to be able to use and manipulate liquid watercolor paints and oil pastels. They are in awe with the way the paints resist the harsh lines of the pastels, and they can see first hand how water and oils repel.

    My students have been able to use these paints last year and on to this year-- and every time we pull out these materials it is as it magic has been released into my classroom: instantaneous silence and students experience the vivid hues and blending of the watercolors.

    Thank you again for the new experiences for my young learners.”

    With gratitude,

    Mrs. Philips

  • Let's Glow Paint!

    Funded Oct 31, 2022

    Thank you so much for the opportunity for my students to try glowing paint and black lights. It has been an incredible site to see students put paint on their paint brushes and have them look electrified.

    This has truly been a wow project for my students and they're excited that they're celebrating their hard work throughout the year. This time of the year can be hard for students who find structure at school that they don't find elsewhere, and this project has encouraged them to continue to be excited about school even though the end of school is near.”

    With gratitude,

    Mrs. Philips

I teach visual art at Discovery Elementary school, one of the largest elementary schools in South Dakota. We are located on the West side of Sioux Falls. Every four days I work with 600 students creating opportunities for them to make meaningful works of art that give them knowledge that they will carry with them forever. One of my passions is helping students find connections between subject matters to instill a love of learning many different subjects.
