My Project

Art supplies are needed to enhance the language arts, math, social studies, and science curriculum. A classroom is a place where the students are able to express themselves in different ways(words, actions, visuals). The students in my class love to express themselves through drawing and painting. With tempura paint, Crayola oil pastels, and kwix sticks tempera paint the students will be able to have different materials to express themselves with. The different materials will be used by the students so that they are able to visually show what they know. This project will only help enrich their experiences with the curriculum.
