My Project

Our students Love expressing their art through exploration. This was not an option for several of our Title 1 students during their remote learning, due to Covid-19. It is my goal to give our students the opportunity to create art using a variety of art materials in the classroom. In our art class, we explore artist and artistic styles from around the world. We focus on using a variety of art mediums and create our own art, inspired by artist we have learned about. Creating art is a great emotional outlet! These supplies will help our students express themselves through the creation of their personal art pieces.
