My Project

Every year, students we engage in a hands-on creative project, crafting a variety of sculptures using paper mache. It’s a wonderful opportunity for them to express their artistic talents, collaborate with classmates, and learn the process of turning a simple material into something amazing.

We want to keep those creative juices flowing and ensure our students can continue making their masterpieces without interruption.

Unfortunately, we’ve run out of our beloved Elmer’s glue and other essential supplies, including tape and brushes.

Our students come from diverse social and economic backgrounds, with a wide range of educational experiences and levels. We will use glue, tape, and brushes to create our paper mache sculptures and cup lids will serve as containers for storing paint.
