My Project

Help me supply my art room library with an updated collection of "how to draw" books for my eager-to-draw elementary students. These books would be a valuable resource for students to use as a reference for their own choice-based projects and use after finishing class projects. Students will be able to gain creative confidence, independently find solutions to drawing challenges, and gain new drawing techniques. My students especially love to draw anime, animals, and people. Having these books in our art room as a resource for them will bring lots of joy and excitement.
