My Students

My students have not had art in their school for the past two years and I am excited to bring art back to them. By funding these basic art supplies they will be used by about 600 students in a K-8 Philadelphia school. Help me color their world!

My students, Kindergarten through Eighth grade, are so excited to have art back in their school.

Philadelphia is working hard to bring art back in schools, however their is little funds for art supplies. My students are eager to explore and be creative and want to work in a variety of art mediums.

My Project

I am rebuilding the art program in my school and would love to turn it into a proud point of the school. Right now I am asking for basic supplies like paint and markers, but eventually I hope to bring them even more supplies with this sites help! Fostering creativity in students is important to getting them to become innovative adults.

This donation will give my students the opportunity to add color to their artwork.

Many of my students expressed to me that they hope to get to paint this year. With your donation they will get to use this art medium and stay excited about art.
