Georgia's Flowers
Funded Apr 1, 2025I want to share with you the impact this project had on my students. First my first grade students learned all about the life and artwork of the artist called Georgia O'keeffe. Secondly, I was able teach my students how to make a three dimentional form using clay or specifically "model magic". Additionally, my first grade students learned about color mixing.
One of the unique characteristics with this particular type of modeling clay is the students are able to use markers to mix colors into it. The students just loved being able to come up with their own colors by mixing the clay with the marker.
Finally, students learned to make large flowers following step by step instructions. The studetns were able to add their own personal touches to their flower creation.”

Printing Delaware Landscapes
Funded Feb 5, 2025I want to share with you my students reaction when they saw the new materials that I was able to obtain, thanks to you. When the students first saw how their drawing can be reproduced by making prints they were very thrilled to get started and begin the process.
As we looked at the artist Edward Loper, who was a Delaware artist. We recognized some of the city scapes in his paintings, as being our a place we know very well, Wilmington. So the students agreed that we should draw our neighborhoods. The typical Wilmington row homes with stoops.
The students eagerly drew their neighborhoods and quickly transfered them onto the styrofoam plate for printing. They really enjoyed rolling the ink on their plates and seeng the magic that was create as they lifted a print. Once again my students and I really appreciate your donations that made this magic happen.”
