My Project

The supplies that I am asking for will further advance the visual arts in my classroom. This will allow the students to become more confident in their ability to design and create art. I love having the ability to further my students' education and spark a love for the visual arts.

Students need multiple areas to express themselves and the visual arts provides that opportunity.

In today's education program, we tend to focus on math, language arts, and writing as ways to evaluate a student's progress. Brushing Forward will allow them to express themselves with their own designs if they can't do it in the conventional ways.
