Creativity Takes Courage!

Help me give my students quality crayola paint, oil pastels and durable paint brushes. Almost all of the paint brushes in my classroom are old, falling apart, dried up paint inside, and not suitable for use.

Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

Celebrate Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

This project is a part of the Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month celebration because it supports a Latino teacher or a school where the majority of students are Latino.

My Project

This will be my first year teaching art here, and I would love to give my new students a well-rounded art experience that goes beyond the cutesy googly eyes and popsicle stick crafts. I'd like to teach more than just "paint by numbers" art where everyone makes identical mini Monet's or mini Van Gogh's. I'd like my students to have quality Crayola paint to express themselves. We need paint brushes that aren't falling apart and ruined with dried-up paint. Please help me give my students an amazing art experience this year.
