My goal for this year is to provide every single one of my students the tools they need to find personal, artistic, and academic success, no matter what curveballs the pandemic may throw us. I am committed to this goal, and to standing by my students and fighting for what they deserve. It is no question that this pandemic has highlighted huge inequities in communities and schools, especially in schools that serve students of color.
The biggest challenge I faced last semester during school closure was the sudden lack of equity of, and access to, art supplies for my student artists. Without access to many basic art supplies my students struggled to stay engaged in creating and learning, and some were unable to participate at all - it honestly broke my heart. My dream for this coming year, is that all my students will have access to the tools they need to express themselves and truly enjoy creating. My dream is to restore the lifeline that my class is for so many students. I know with access to supplies my students will thrive, not just as artists, but as individuals as well.
I can't do this without your help. For less than $20 per student ($19.71 per student actually), you will be providing a comprehensive kit of essential art making supplies that will enrich a student artist for the entire year. I have chosen these supplies very carefully to make sure they maximize the amount of art making students will be able to do over the course of the year, the Canson XL Mix Media sketchbook for example, has heavyweight paper that students can use for both drawing, painting projects, and mixed media work! Thank you for reading or sharing this campaign, and for considering donating to our cause.
