My Project

I would like to order some watercolors, brushes, and a water basin for students to use along with clay that was purchased by parents earlier this year. Sculptures have been a unique way for more tactile learners to show their learning and a way for them to express important historical information that they have taken in. These watercolors, oil pastels, and brushes would help in creating battles scenes or possibly other historical artifacts such as tools, buildings, and/or busts of historical figures. Adding these colorful elements will help bring student sculptures to life.
