My Project

New materials can spark students' imaginations and allow them to explore different techniques and mediums. My students will be able to refine their artistic and critical thinking skills. My art room is located in an outside portable, so having an in classroom HP Smart Printer, will give my students time, efficiency, and exploration for new ideas.

My goal for this project is to promote engagement and expand my students' artistic techniques.

Replacing worn out materials will ensure that my students have high quality materials that allow them to produce their best work, such as construction paper, Sharpies, and liquid watercolor paint. These are the most used materials we use for our assignments and projects. I believe that having enough supplies will minimize sharing supplies, which can cause distractions and slow down the class flow. I want my students to have a diverse learning experience while excelling in different mediums.

My students are always ready to create and learn new art techniques. I enjoy seeing them forget about problems in their lives for the moment, and using art to calm their minds. I know the new supplies will spark joy, excitement, and creativity on a higher level and they will have the best learning experience.
