My Students

My students are warm, loving, caring and always eager to learn and create amazing masterpieces. They have an immense imagination and love a good challenge. They are always thinking outside the box and sketch, paint and design with such passion. It's blissful to watch. They enjoy each others' company and ideas, especially during group projects.

They are true artists at heart.

However, how can an artist be all they can be without the proper tools?

As a Title I school, we do not have an abundance of resources to purchase all the art materials needed to support our art classroom and so this is the main reason why we would love your help. We want to have a classroom environment that is welcoming, colorful and full of imagination for all of our young artists. We would love to have an ample amount of art tools to support our artists.

"Every child is an artist... The problem is how to remain an artist once we grow up."

Pablo Picasso.

We want to provide our Artists with an art experience that they will remember for the rest of their lives.

My Project

My students love these paint markers, however they are super expensive and I wish we had the funds to provide every artist with a set. A few of our artists who have these Copic Markers bring them to class and you can see it in their eyes when they paint with these how excited they are. They love their artwork even more! Their artwork comes to life! A few of these students do like to share with their partners but others hesitate because the refills are expensive. It breaks my heart to see that everyone else wants to use these but cannot afford to purchase them. Having these markers in our classroom will boost my student's confidence. We would love a set for every table to use. It is so important to have these special tools to work with, especially in Art class.
