My Project

My students are the best! They love drawing, creating and exploring new materials. My classroom creates an environment where they are encouraged to explore whatever artistic pursuit they seek.

These materials will help provide students with drawing boards, canvases, copper, and props to provide exciting ways to work on their portrait and figure drawing skills.

These materials will allow students in all of my classes to further pursue their drawing, painting and printmaking skills. These resources will inspire the students to keep creating and explore more ways to express themselves.
