My Project

One of my many goals as an art teacher is to introduce my students to as many art materials and lessons as possible while also making sure they get the same art-making experiences as any other student out there. To ensure this happens, I am slowly trying to build my classroom supplies to cover all the basic materials while also adding in some new materials for them to try.

Colored permanent markers and organizers would be a completely new and exciting material for my students to use.

A fresh set of colored construction paper would help restock all of the paper we have used up over the years. A new pencil sharpener would help replace the old one we currently use. It has always been so important to me to create quality art lessons for my students, and through this project I can continue doing so.

When I first started in my current teaching position, the art room was left bare with no supplies or materials. Over the years since, I have tried to acquire the materials necessary to provide a quality art class for my students. This projects and materials list would help provide new and fresh materials to ensure our quality arts education continues for my students.
