My Project

Most of my students are non-verbal with multiple disabilities. Expressing themselves verbally is a challenge. But through art, my students can shine a light on who they are as individuals. The process of creating an art project or a craft is not only therapeutic for them but also helps build confidence and broaden their approach to learning.

With these new vibrant paint colors and an assortment of papers, my students will be able to gain deep satisfaction in creating artwork from start to finish.

They will be able to use these requested supplies to express themselves creatively during our free painting session or learn different painting techniques. My students already have shown an astonishing interest in art, and this project will help enrich their enriches their experiences with art.
