Drawing Boards to support Studious Middle School Artists
Funded Oct 5, 2024Thank you for your contribution to my classroom. With your help, I was able to provide Drawing Boards and additional materials for my 7th grade students.
My students began their study of observational drawing first by drawing their hands, then moved on to creating value drawings based on still life set ups. I constructed two still life set ups in the room, and students were more free to move about the room and view the still life from multiple angles with the help of these drawing boards as a movable surface.
I am so excited about the progress these students have made with their academic artistic journey this year. They have just completed a self portrait unit, and now are venturing into painting. I look forward to continuing to use these boards for years to come, as well as use the boards to take out into the halls and outside for students to continue their study of observational drawing.
Thank you again, your support means so much to me and my students!”

Sketchbooks to Promote Artistic Growth and Creative Habits!
Funded Sep 14, 2024Thank you for supporting my classroom. With your donation, I was able to purchase sketchbooks for all my 6th, 7th, and 8th grade students, as well as drawing pencils for them to use during class. Students were excited to each receive their own sketchbook to take with them to practice drawing both at home and at school.
I look at their sketchbooks monthly, having given them a list of word prompts to complete. Their sketchbook entries give them the opportunity to show their creativity, and how they like to draw when they are not completing their class assignments.
Sixth and 7th grade students are currently working on self portraits, and 8th graders are creating painted sculptures of snack foods that they have made larger than life!
Thank you again for helping my students succeed in their artistic pursuits.”
