My Students

My students are amazing artists! I would like to spark their creativity by using new and exciting materials in the classroom. Unfortunately, I am limited to using basic materials such as markers and crayons for most of our projects, which can be monotonous.

My art students are from low income families and have very limited access to luxuries that you and I often take for granted.

My students and their families don't always have the essentials such as food and clothing. My students do not have access to museums and travel where learning about culture and art is rooted.

My Project

I was so excited this year when a color printer was generously donated to my classroom! It has been such a time saver to be able to print color photos for my students!

Unfortunately, there isn't a budget for ink.

I have this beautiful printer, but I am unable to let the students use it because it requires new toner. My students would like to be able to create digital art work that they can print on the color printer. Learning how to create digital art is an important 21st century skill that my students need to learn. Please consider donating ink so that the students can start creating again!
