My Project

Paint is one of the most critical aspect of our classroom. My students love to just grab paint and create, especially when we have "open studio" days. Students create a work of their choice, as my lessons focus on student choice, which always leads to them waiting to use acrylic paint!

I am hoping someone can assist in assuring that students have the SEL and project based classroom they desire.

When my students paint, there is a shift in the room, and seemingly the school and their day. They find themselves engulfed, thinking that 1.5 hours of class isn't even enough!

With more paint, I am able to ensure that students are learning the foundations of acrylic painting, using the skill for years to come.
