My Project

My students love drawing and improving their drawing abilities and techniques with a range of materials.

These materials will help my students explore value and color and help us utilize our space better!

The primary color prismas will help students in my drawing classes learn color blending, and the big packs will give them tons of options to work with. This will replenish our scratch boards, oil pastels and will also allow students to explore more advanced techniques with technical erasers and non photo blue pencils. The shelving and the pipe sections will help us improve access to materials in our limited space.

Mr. Swaty Robinson High School Grades 9-12
