My Students

My students are warm, loving, caring, and always eager to learn and create amazing masterpieces. They have an immense imagination and love a good challenge. They are always thinking outside the box when sketching, painting, and designing. It's blissful to watch. They enjoy each others' company and ideas, especially during group projects.

They are true artists at heart.

However, how can an artist be all they can be without the proper tools at home and in school especially during COVID19.

As a Title I school, we do not have an abundance of resources to purchase all the art materials needed to support our art classroom and so this is the main reason why I would love your help. I want to have a classroom environment that is welcoming, colorful, and full of imagination for all of my young artists and of course individual art media for home as well. I would love to have an ample amount of art tools to support all artists.

"Every child is an artist... The problem is how to remain an artist once we grow up."

Pablo Picasso.

I want to provide my Artists with a positive art experience they will remember forever.

My Project

This hands-on very needed basic art kit will tap into every child's natural curiosity, resulting in a wonderful at-home learning experience that is fun and educational. Most of my students do not have basic art materials at home for their virtual art learning experience and so this kit I believe is an essential tool for my artists to have at home. The art kit includes a few basic art materials that my students will need at home in order to begin drawing, designing, crafting, and creating amazing artwork during our virtual zoom lessons. From a canvas panel to basic crayons, to paint, to drawing chalk, to markers, there are no limits to the imagination. The art Kit Includes 8 oz. Acrylic Paint, Jumbo Chunky Paintbrush, Crayola® 8-Count Classic Colors Washable Markers - Single Box

NBR 2 Pencil, Composition Book, 100 Pages, Jumbo Glue Stick - Single

Canvas Panel 6" x 8", Fiskars® 7" Student Scissors, Drawing Chalk - 24 Colors,

Crayola® Modeling Clay - Single Box,

Crayola® 12-Pack Colored Pencils - Single Box, and SunWorks 9" x 12" Construction Paper - Assortment - 50 sheets. These are all the wonderful and basic art materials that every student needs for a great at-home art experience.
