My Project

My students are bright, enthusiastic learners who love to create, and I want to provide them with the tools they need to bring their ideas to life. With your support, we hope to secure a drying rack, art caddies, art trays, markers, drawing paper, and a flash drive to document their artistic journey.

For many of my students, the classroom is their primary place for creative expression.

Art is a means of communication, problem-solving, and self-expression. Providing them with quality art supplies will foster creativity and help develop fine motor and critical thinking skills.

How These Materials Will Be Used:

The drying rack will keep wet paintings and artwork organized and safe while drying.

The art caddies will organize markers, crayons, and glue for easy student access, while the art trays will contain the messes and allow students to explore different art mediums.

The drawing paper is a fundamental supply for sketching, painting, and mixed media art and if you have drawing paper, you must have markers with bold, vibrant colors for their creations.

The flash drive will store photos of student artwork to document their progress and achievements, while also being shared with families through our end-of-the-year slideshow.

With your support, my students will have the tools they need to explore their artistic talents and take pride in their work. Your generosity will inspire confidence, creativity, and a lifelong love for art. Thank you for considering our project!
