My Project

My 3K students are working on pre-writing skills by using our glue, stampers, markers and crayons in class. With your donations, they will be able to practice these activities with many different mediums including paint dabbers, tempra paint and shapes.

Collage describes both the technique and the resulting work of art in which pieces of paper, photographs, fabric and other thought out materials are arranged and stuck down onto a supporting surface.

This allows our students to create and design art for different purposes. When they master basic techniques in our creative arts center, this prepares them for more academic driving work as they continue on in elementary school.
