Keep Our Colored Pencil Sharpened!

Help me give my students a pencil sharpener specifically for colored pencils. This in turn will become an Art Room job for students to help keep the pencils sharpened.

My Project

Colored pencils are a favorite among my older students and my art room would definitely benefit from a specifically designated colored pencil sharpener. Following most art projects my students are allowed to free draw while they wait for their fellow classmates to finish up. Colored Pencils/Pencils are the go to art supply to use during this time and keeping up with sharpening the pencils is a chore in it's self.

Art Jobs help the Art Room stay nice and tidy while giving some responsibility to my students.

Sharpening the pencils/colored pencils would be a beneficial job to assign art helpers.
