In a test driven, results oriented public school system, the art department costs money. Our budget is small for the number of students we serve. We have some of the basics, but it's hard to have a broad experience with what little we can afford. I have created amazing resources for our students, but more would help. These children love to explore art, attendance is up, tardiness is down, but we need help expanding our program with more engaging materials! Your donation would help us do that for a community in need. You can see many of my explorations at artedguru.com, and the amazing work my students have done, but I could do so much more. My art students outscore their non art peers on exams like the SAT by as much as 150 points on average, and that is because of my unique approach to art education. Students explore their feelings, points of view, history, their heritage and more as they make unique, individualized works of art. We never do cookie-cutter projects, each work is unique and personal and connected to areas of core content. We explore the Renaissance, facial anatomy, muscle groups, and more when doing portraits. This engages my students at deeper levels that translates to other classes. Your donation will help me kick this into high gear!
