Perfect Paper for Amazing Art!
Funded Jan 1, 2022Thank you so much for your donation. We are really grateful for the various papers, tissue, and paper mache. The paper we received was perfect for our printmaking project we did recently. 3rd and 4th grade had a blast learning about various printmaking techniques. The paper you provided is of an amazing quality and I really appreciate being able to provide my students with paper that doesn't wrinkle (like the normal stuff we use). My students have been creating some amazing masterpieces with the materials you have given them. We look forward to using the paper mache soon. Thanks again!”

Perfect Paint for Marvelous Masterpieces!
Funded Jan 1, 2022My students and I are thrilled to use these new paints! They have quickly become my students' new favorite watercolors. The colors are so vibrant and beautiful. The kids were instantly excited just looking at the paints. I also noticed that even the really young students have gone out of their way to take care of them because they love the paints so much. Each palette contains a variety of beautiful and bold colors. The colors are nice and opaque and they also dry quickly. The palettes also contain fantastic paintbrushes! We cannot thank you enough!”

Amazingly Awesome Art Club!
Funded Dec 30, 2021Thank you so much for supplying tie-dye materials for my art club kids. They are a very devoted and awesome group and I wanted to give them a fun experience that they wouldn't forget. They were so excited to be able to tie dye their own shirt. It was a ton of fun and they love how their shirts turned out. They were so happy when they saw the final result. It was exciting to do something new and use unusual materials. I am looking forward to possibly making this a tradition with 5th graders. Thanks again for your support!”

Fun with Clay!
Funded Sep 24, 2021Thank you so much for your air-dry clay donation. Because of your kindness, students were able to create some phenomenal sculptures. I was originally concerned that I would not be able to provide a clay experience for my students because my kiln is broken. However, this was a great alternative. The kids loved exploring and learning about clay. 3rd grade made some fantastic dragons, 4th grade made bobble-head pets, and 5th grade made castles. I hope you enjoy the pictures. You have provided them with an experience that they will most likely not forget. These students and their families will treasure their sculptures for years to come. Thanks again!”

Sharp Points for Smart Students!
Funded Jan 12, 2021I knew that these supplies would be used often, but I did not know how much I would love these products! The pencil sharpener sharpens a pencil in a couple of seconds! This has made my life so much easier. Previously, it would take awhile to prepare all the pencils, now it's a couple of minutes. I always have pencils ready for my students. It came at the perfect time too. My old pencil sharpener finally stopped working. We have greatly enjoyed the crayon sharpener as well. It is easier for the students to use crayons that have a nice point. Thanks again!”

Tools for Creative Clay Projects
Funded Jan 24, 2020We are so grateful to have such amazing supplies! The kids loved experimenting with all of the various clay tools. I couldn't have done it without you guys. The tools really make a difference in the craftsmanship of the projects. The students were surprised with how many different textures they could create in the clay. They also enjoyed learning about the different tools and uses. Our first projects using the tools included bobble heads figurines, dragons, and castles. By using the tools, students were able to bring life to their creations, and for that I am truly grateful. Thank you again.”

This classroom project was brought to life by Anonymous Arts Supporter and one other donor.Creativity with Clay
Funded Jan 29, 2020I was so overwhelmed by the awesome support we received with this project. I am happy to have a community that backs the Arts. I can't thank you guys enough. My students really enjoyed their clay projects. Everyone was engaged when it came to clay. It's amazing how you can take a clump of mud and turn it into something awesome. One of my students told me that she didn't want to go Spring Break because she didn't want to miss art class. I was so happy that I was able to give them that experience and I look forward to many more fun art classes to come.”

Precious PreK Painters!
Funded Dec 31, 2019We love the aprons that were donated to us! Thank you so much! They work great. They fully cover student shirts and are super easy to wash. The students like that they are brightly colored and have pockets. Students enjoyed exploring the new paint palettes as well. The paint that we received is great for color-mixing. It is a good starter paint for PreK students that are just learning to use the medium. Plus the colors mix really well. Also, they really enjoyed creating creatures out of the model magic. I'm really happy that my students were able to use all these fun supplies and have these amazing experiences before the quarantine happened. I can't wait to get back to my classroom so we can continue to enjoy these awesome materials.”

This classroom project was brought to life by PNC Grow Up Great® and 9 other donors.Perfect Portfolios!
Funded Aug 22, 2019We are extremely grateful for our amazing portfolios. The art room is beautifully organized thanks to your help. My students had a blast decorating their portfolios and they are proud that they have a special place to store their art in. The portfolios provide a safe space for their work. It also encourages them to actively keep and treasure their art. I was happy to hear that some of my students saved their portfolios for previous years and are recording their progress. Not to mention, the paper we received is high quality and the students noticed. This will ensure that the portfolios will last longer.”
