My Students

"Creativity takes courage," said Henri Matisse. My students will apply this quote in my classroom every day, as they are the first group that has been given the chance to take art within this middle school.

My students are eager and enthusiastic to finally be given a classroom environment that will allow them to have a creative outlet.

This art program is a chance for my students to find their own solutions and their individual artistic voices. My goal is to create an atmosphere within which students are challenged and inspired by creativity. Through art, students have the ability to enjoy freedom of expression and to demonstrate their capability, vision, and intelligence. Art provides the opportunity for children to explore their imagination, granted they are given the right setting to do so.

My Project

In order to guide students toward a purposeful art education, it is important that they are given the opportunities to experience all types of media. I have requested drawing and painting materials that include color pencils, markers, paintbrushes, glue, pastels, paper, aprons, scissors, and erasers. The color pencils, markers, liquid watercolors, and acrylic paints, as well as other art supplies will allow students to learn about various artists and art history, while being involved in aspects of drawing, painting, collage, sculpting, and mixed media. Students will be given opportunities to expand their knowledge, by working both two dimensionally and three dimensionally.

Overall, these resources will give students new opportunities within our school.

They will allow students to further their overall education and help foster skills such as creativity, critical thinking, and problem solving. It is my hope that through your donation to this project, we can provide a program that aids in developing our students' overall self-esteem, motivation, and autonomy so that they can become better students and citizens.
