My Project

I am starting a new job this week and I will be my new school's third Art teacher this year. I want to build a classroom community where students enjoy being and where they have everything they need to create amazing art! The materials I have requested include tempera cakes in a variety of inspiring colors, brushes, cardstock, acrylic and watercolor paints, painting paper, canvas bulk sets and easy to use Tempera Stix and large paint brushes for tiny hands.

My new art classroom is absolutely beautiful and I hope to match its beauty with the art my students create with these high-quality art supplies.

My goal for this project is simply to provide my new students in grades pre-K-5 with inspiring art supplies for their creative journey!
