My Project

Because our school doesn't have an Art Teacher, classroom teachers provide art in the classroom each work. Having these supplies in the classrooms will help my students create many, many painting projects. My students love painting during our art time. Students love it! No project is exactly the same, as it should be; and this allows students to express themselves individually.

I am requesting materials for our art classes so that we can foster creativity while also providing a safe space to cultivate natural, open conversation about difficult topics.

I have requested sketch pads, crayons and colored pencils and paints with brushes to use in our art classes, allowing our students to express themselves though art. They say art opens the mind and soul and I would love to provide students with the opportunity to tap into a world of creativity!
