My Students

When you think about elementary school, what projects do you remember? I'm betting that they are the same ones that your mom saved and still cherishes - your "masterpieces." My students need art experiences that they can look back on, feel proud of, and that they can take home to their moms.

My 4th and 5th grade students come from many different backgrounds.

They are ethnically diverse, representing the Mexican, Russian, Ukrainian, and African American cultures. They are native speakers, and second language learners. Most of them are socioeconomically disadvantaged, some of them newly so, with the recent turn in the economy. Most of them have not been in public education long enough to remember what it was like to have art and music teachers. All of them are smart, creative, amazing human beings who deserve the opportunity to exercise both sides of their brains by learning about and creating unique pieces of art.

My Project

The art books and paint canvases that I am requesting for my students will help me to teach art to my students in an authentic way. It will help them to develop their creativity as well as an appreciation of the art and artists that are so important to our shared culture and the bigger world. The canvases will provide motivation for hesitant students, and inspiration for eager ones. Most importantly, it will help some of my otherwise academically unsuccessful students to "shine."

My students need art experiences that are not limited to those that can be done with construction paper and crayons.

They need to learn, to create, to share their "masterpieces" with family and friends, and to develop the confidence, self-esteem, and pride that comes with creating.
