My Project

I love that my students are so creative, and every piece of artwork they put out is so different and unique. They really put their all into painting, coloring, drawing, and creating beautiful artwork all throughout the year. I want to be able to provide as many resources as possible to enhance their experience and exposure to art. Having time to be able to express themselves through art really makes them feel good and gives their classmates a glimpse into who they are. Can’t wait to put these items to use. Thank you so much!
