This classroom project was brought to life by The DonorsChoose Community and one other donor.Art Class Grand Opening
Funded Nov 30, 2012The students were excited to receive the shipment of art supplies. They could not wait to open the boxes to start experimenting with all of the new media. Some students had their favorite. Some loved to use the graphite pencils, some loved using the watercolors, but most of them loved everything.
Students used the resources to experiment and learn how the art supplies worked. I was able to teach them new drawing and painting techniques through lectures and live demonstrations. Students were also able to walk around the classroom to witness their classmates use different mediums. By doing this, it also allowed students to learn new art techniques that most students were able to adopted on their own.
Due to your generous donation, students were able to showcase all of their artwork that was created at the end of the school year. I used that as an opportunity to teach them public speaking, observation, listening, and critiquing skills. Each student took turns presenting his or her body of artwork in a professional manner. They were also able to be an audience member/critic. This lesson was the highlight of the school year. Thank you very much for making this possible!”
