My Project

Please help my students get paintbrushes, paint brush holders, sharpies, and jars to explore painting! With the jars, students will learn how to make watercolors from washable dried up markers. They will learn proper brush technique with their paintbrushes, and the sharpies will help them define their images!

Elementary school is the perfect place to paint if you have the right tools!

This request helps give my students different types of brushes so they can learn proper techniques and explore painting in our art class! Our current brushes are quite old and do not have proper storage. Help us get proper storage so we can have these wonderful brushes for years to come!
