My Project

These materials will be essential tools for a well-rounded art classroom, supporting both organization and creative expression across various art forms. The Safco Graphic Arts 5-Drawer Steel Flat File will be used to store large documents, ensuring that student artwork, such as oversized sketches, posters, or prints, remains flat and protected. This will help maintain an organized space and prevent damage to students' creations.

The Sax Unmounted Linoleum Blocks and Falling in Art Block Cutters will be used for linoleum printing projects.

Students will carve their designs into the linoleum blocks and then use them to create prints, learning the techniques of relief printing. These materials will be a hands-on way for students to explore printmaking and develop fine motor skills.

Elmer's Glue-All and Elmer's Disappearing Purple School Glue Sticks will be used for various art projects involving collage, sculpture, and mixed-media artwork. The glue ensures that students can easily assemble their materials, from paper to lightweight objects, while minimizing mess. Pacon Construction Paper Storage Units will help store construction paper and other flat materials.

The Blick Studio Drawing Pencils and Fulmoon Blending Stumps will be crucial for drawing and shading exercises, helping students practice techniques for creating detailed artwork. uCreate Watercolor Paper will be used in watercolor projects, offering students a surface that supports paint without warping.

For organization, the Wood and Acrylic Brush Holder will keep brushes and other tools tidy, while DIYSELF Utility Knives and Scissors will assist students in cutting paper, fabric, and other materials for their projects. Finally, FIXSMITH Picture Frames will be used to display completed student artwork, allowing students to showcase their creations professionally. The Simply Art Table Easels will provide individual workstations for students to paint or sketch on, fostering a focused creative environment.
