Building a Fine Arts Portfolio
Funded Dec 6, 2024Thank you so so much for making this happen. With your help my students will have the opportunity to try some new art supplies with a class set of fineliners and some gel pens. They also take home quality sketchbooks to feed their creativity in and out of the classroom and having quality supplies really makes a difference in a students creative process! Thank you so much again for your help and support!”

Feeding Creativity in Art Class!
Funded Sep 5, 2023From my students to you, thank you again for the sketchbooks. It is thanks to your donation that my students not only had a fun snack while they worked on their food studies but they got to do this in a sketchbook they feel they can call their own.
Most of my students love their sketchbooks so much they take them home and create their own art on the weekends. They show me their personal projects and they challenge themselves. I never realized that having these nice materials could inspire my students so much. Recently we just practiced watercolor painting and made food studies. They got to eat the snacks provided from this campaign and paint in their sketchbooks. They took their time, really focused on how to use their colors, and created some great food study paintings.
The students faces lit up when they saw these sketchbooks and it has become so challenging to grade their work because they want to take these sketchbooks with them everywhere. It's great they care so much for their materials.
Now that the food studies are complete students will use the techniques they have learned in watercolor painting and apply it to the next few projects as they choose. Students will practice more paint techniques throughout the year as well and apply these things to their personal work at home. Thanks to you my students are excited to make art outside of school and inspired to challenge themselves because they don't want to waste a single page in these books. We appreciate what you've done for us by making this happen!”
With gratitude,
Ms. Newcomb
