My Project

The caddies and cups will facilitate access to art materials for a variety of ages, developmental stages, and physical abilities. Students will be able to use crayons, markers, scissors, glue, and more while maximizing art-making time and cutting back on set-up and clean up.

My goal for my art students is to demonstrate independence when choosing, using, and organizing art materials in the art room.

The caddies have removable cups, which I can add or take away, depending on the project, grade level, and abilities of classes. The individual cups allow older students the autonomy to access colored pencils, markers, and pens.

My students are creative, enthusiastic young artists with a variety of modalities and interests; The common challenge in art class is that students don't want it to end! Students will enjoy more time to create, problem-solve, and reflect with these awesome organizers.
