Color Me Artistic!

Funded Mar 27, 2024

My students and I would like to send enormous thanks for your donations and support. We are absolutely grateful for all the supplies we received. Just as I expected, my students' artwork has truly come to life.

My students' first project with some of the new supplies was their end of year self-portraits. They were ecstatic to have brand new markers and crayons, especially the Colors of the World, to ensure their self-portraits looked as authentic as possible. Their self-portraits turned out amazing! The students' first major project of the new school year was to create portfolios and design their own unique cover. We spent about 3 weeks working on the portfolio covers and the construction paper crayons were a huge hit with my students. Their drawings were so colorful and vibrant. We are currently working on "papel picado," so have no fear, the glue sticks are working overtime. Even though we received so many necessary supplies, I believe my students' new favorite thing is the crayon sharpener. I have to remind them every so often not to spend too much time searching for crayons that need to be sharpened.

Lastly, when I created this project I was a mobile art teacher and I just wanted to share that I have a classroom this year with so much space for my students to create. So again, thank you so much for your generosity, it did not go unappreciated!”

With gratitude,

Ms. Walls
