My Project

My new students at an inner-city high school deserve a well-rounded art supply closet. Your donation will help us purchase a variety of art supplies to use throughout the year, and with this request, we will begin a portrait project.

We plan to create bold and colorful portraits in ink on watercolor paper.

We already have the inks, brushes, and glitter, but we need frames, watercolor paper, some paints and pencils, rulers, and a medium to hold the glitter down. My students will create portraits of people they hold dear to their hearts: friends, family, musicians, and artists.
