My Project

Help me get painting supplies for my amazing EHS painting students. I teach painting 1,2,3 and advanced art. We work in watercolor, gauche, acrylic and oil paint. It is such a privilege to teach art to young people, especially in high school where many art students talk about just getting a chance to breathe during the class day. Because we are a public school, we work with all students including kids with special needs and we are the most diverse school in the state of Wisconsin. My goal is to level the playing field and offer my students the same opportunities that they would get in other places.

Ms. Sopkin East High School Grades 6-8
