My Students

My students are passionate, hilarious, and are having a hard year. I just started a new position as their art teacher in January and they have not had the best experience with art so far. I want to change that!

My students have abandonment issues, they are used to teachers leaving them and one of my goals is to show them that I am here to stay.

Most of them are not confident in their art abilities and some better quality supplies would help a lot.

My Project

I just started a new position in an underserved community with a small art budget. My students feel frustrated at times, due to a lack of choices in materials.

I have not had my students for very long but I know that these supplies would mean so much to them, and would give us more freedom in projects.

They have had a really negative experience with art this far and I want to be able to give them the experience they deserve. I am asking for supplies that will be used for multiple projects in my classroom. We currently have very few options.
