Art as an Outlet

Help me give my students the opportunity to beautify their surroundings and minds by creating ART. My school does not have an art program, but I believe students need an outlet to express themselves. Help me help them!

My Project

I personally know what art can do for a person. It allows the mind to escape, imagine, dream, express, and create. For some it is a way of communicating who they are. I think all young people need art as an outlet to see where it takes them and help develop a new skill or new passion. By having more to create with than a pencil and paper, the students feel they have extra tools and resources and they are more apt to engage with Art as an outlet!
