My Project

I have a bunch of very creative and talented 3rd graders that love to add color to everything. Technology is a big part of their life, however, being able to express themselves through art tools has been quiet inspirational for them.

Giving them these everyday tools will give them the ongoing experience of creating something new each day, with these tools at their fingertips.

Having the opportunity to show their confidence through art has been very calming and relaxing with all the stress they have as young minds with big ideas.
