  • Artastic for Fantastic Artists' Portfolios

    Funded Jul 21, 2023

    My art students were so delighted to receive their own art portfolios to store their original works of art! Their delight was so contagious! We are so grateful for your donation for our beautiful Art Portfolios that we can curate our beautiful works of art throughout the year. The students work very hard learning different techniques and building new skills and advancing their fine motor skills using different art materials. Some of the students artwork also are presented in displays in our school art gallery as well as entered into Art competitions such as the Metropolitan Museum of Art!

    Thank you once again.

    So very appreciative & ever grateful,

    Miss A. ~ Art Teacher🎨”

  • Epic Artist Portfolios

    Funded Nov 18, 2019

    I cannot tell you how delighted the students from Kindergarten through to Fifth Grade are so very excited when they receive their very own ART PORTFOLIO ( your generous gift of beautiful folders .) The students become their very own Art Curators where they collect all their original artwork and it is organized into the pocketed portfolio! It does not stop there ~ they start with selecting the type of lettering they will create; block lettering, 3 dimensional lettering ( for the upper grades) or creative swag lettering ( the Fifth graders love this font type!) They are creating their name design for their logo for the front of their art portfolio; so not there is more confidence, enthusiasm and ownership of their artist folder! It is a wonderful time to see their transformation of owning their own portfolio and taking them home with their yearly original works of art to treasure because of your generous hearts! Thank you so very much we at P.S. 1 appreciate your kindness, caring for our students and Happy”

  • 2018 Portfolio Solo Smart Art Design Covers

    Funded Oct 2, 2018

    Good Day my Dearest Donors! The students were so delighted to write the letters clearly showing their "gratitude" in the spirit of the season! The students simply love having their own real estate ~their art portfolio folder; thanks to the generosity of our donors! The students have worked on their "LOGO" using their name, their personality, their design patterns, colors, shapes and different types of fonts for their name! The students folders get identified by their own unique artwork created onto a paper and then simply glued onto the front of their art portfolio. The students are quick to obtain their folders by table due to their own originality and color choices of their logo design; thus saving time in our one period a week 50 minute time slot! They are so encouraged by this gift and we thank you so much for caring and sharing and TRULY making a DIFFERENCE into the lives of my precious art students!”

  • Art Portfolio's Student's Treasure Chest!

    Funded Aug 22, 2017

    I am so blessed to have this generous donation of Art Portfolios to all of my students from Kindergarten to Fifth Grade which is 600 plus students. It means so much to see my students eyes light up when they heard they received a gift from Donors Choose! This is a personal gift to the students; the folders/art portfolios are their own possession holding all their semesters' artwork. The front of the folder is their own drawing of their Name utilizing Elements of Art~ Line, pattern, color & shape. The students work very diligently and simply love to show their completed artwork in front of their fellow students. The kindness of my Donors Choose partners is like a family to me; they saw a need and from their heart and their own funds believed in the need of art portfolios for each of my students. The new school year has started on such a positive note for the students and they are so appreciative of this Treasure Of a Donation. I cannot wait until you read their letters of thanks showing fully their appreciation and some included artwork in the letters as well! The students also shared with fellow students by reading their letters and sharing their artwork! The Art room was certainly filled with bubbling energy and just in time for gratitude for the Thanksgiving Day Holiday! We do hope all of our donors have a most joy filled Holiday!!!”

My amazing students are like sponges~ so excited to come into the art room and begin creating, completing and adding to their projects. They are tactile and the sensory part of feeling new materials is always inspiring! In the community project passing around building materials such as maple and cherry wood samples, tile and mini bricks help them to draft their drawings into their sketch books. Then the students actually take different textured papers and shape/cut the buildings they will create into their community collage. I have a Creative Material bin where students will shop for different types of material to enhance their collage. They are filled with delight as they add metallic materials, feathers, ribbons which add to the aesthetic quality and the smiles are priceless! Adding the frame the students also decorated as well as named their Community Collage making their projects stand out and gallery ready!
