My Project

Throughout my 20+ years career I noticed that some students have a natural artistic ability. I'd like to help foster this special talent by offering these students colored pencils. I often see them doodling the most beautiful pieces of art right along the margins of their notebook! Wouldn't it be really cool if they had an opportunity to explore this ability more with a good set of colored pencils featuring a variety of hues? Help me make this happen for these budding young artists. Thank you in advance for your consideration.
