My Project

Help me give my students the chance to create beautiful art projects. Throughout the year my students create a monthly art project on black 9x9 square paper. The projects use chalk and oil pastels. Students love the opportunity to create colorful projects that align to our curriculum, fit the seasons, and celebrate the world around us.

Please give my students the chance to express themselves through art with the beautiful colors created with chalk pastels.

The students' projects will be saved throughout the year, and they will have a beautiful portfolio of black paper and pastel art to share with their families and cherish for years to come. My students love the opportunity to work with art materials besides the typical marker, crayon, and colored pencils.

Help me continue to provide hands on and engaging projects that align to the curriculum and address the unique needs of all the children. The TGPT gift card will be used to purchase some additional art projects. My students are a special group that love learning, inquiring, and creating. My goal is to continue to inspire and engage my students on a daily basis.
