My Students

Most of my kids come from very poor homes and difficult circumstances. This coming September will begin only the second year that art will be taught in our school. The incoming kids are already excited because they've seen what my students from this year have achieved. My art class has been a safe haven, and I want that feeling to continue. The more supplies I have for my kids to work with, the more likely they will stay out of trouble.

My Project

We will be using the pencils and regular erasers to draw pictures on our canvases, and the brushes, both regular and angled, to apply acrylic paints to the canvas panels. Some of the brushes will additionally be used on upcoming watercolor projects, and the stiff brushes and kneaded erasers will be used for a future pastel assignment. This initial acrylic assignment will be a joint English, Art and History project. The subject of our canvases will be abstract figures based on the time period in history that my kids are studying, as well as the literature they're studying at that time.
