Materials for High School Art Students

Funded Sep 28, 2022

Thank you for supporting the Visual Art Department at Kennett High School. Because of your donation, we were able to purchase a variety of high-quality materials and create some stunning works of art.

We used your funds to buy Prismacolor pencils which we like to compare to "butter" as they are so rich and creamy. They go on smooth and create bright colors that are easy to blend. Students prefer to use them over other brands as they instantly elevate their artwork.

This last quarter, students worked on a bright still life of glasses with colored water. Students took their own photos practicing composition and then started with white pencil underdrawings. After the drawing was correct they added layers of vibrant color with the Prismacolors working the achieve transparency and shine in the glass. I am so proud of how these artworks turned out and their perseverance on this difficult assignment. Thank you for providing them with the tools to be successful.”

With gratitude,

Ms. Benish
