My Project

These materials will help to ensure that my students will have a beautiful art show where lack of such items would keep their talents from fully shining through in their special projects. My classroom is meant to be a place that my students feel very safe to be creative and vulnerable and is meant to operate like a beautiful studio space where budding artists can thrive.

Every material that we use is treated with love and care, and the students are especially excited when they get to create using professional grade materials that make every project look like an artist's work.

All of these materials have been specifically chosen with my students' interests in mind.The best way to increase engagement, an interest and a love of making Art is to give students materials that look and feel like those that the masters used. With each of our projects based on the artwork of such artists, it is only natural that students would also love to use the finest paints, brushes, paper and glue to let their talents come through.

My students already have shown an astonishing interest in all of the artwork we've created thus far, and access to these materials will only help enrich their experiences within the Art room.
