My Students

"A drawing is simply a line going for a walk." Paul Klee

Our students come from extremely diverse backgrounds.

Students at our school are of all ability levels and from all around the globe. We are a Title 1 school with over 80% free and reduced priced lunch. Our classes also have large numbers of students in them, which can be distracting.

My Project

With the diversity of learners in the art room, each student works at his/ her own pace. I'm looking to build a collection of drawing books for my students to work from, especially those early finishers. With these books, the students will never be bored!

Drawing books for the art room will make the lives of the student so much richer.

Rather than "not knowing what do draw" students will be able to select from a wide range of drawing lessons and examples with this new class library!
