My Students

Art is all around us! Students can create art masterpieces right in the classroom!

My students love to create art!

They are creative students who work hard when presenting art work to their friends and peers. They love working independently and with groups during creative projects. They can express themselves with their paintings. What they love most is sharing their work with each other and their families.

My Project

I am requesting art materials to use in our classroom. My students need paint brushes of all sizes, a variety of acrylic paint choices, and canvas boards to create their self-portraits. Having elementary students express themselves through art is a very powerful teaching tool. I will not only be using this project to build knowledge of the arts and painting instruction, but also to build on character education. This project will enable my students to express themselves in a self-portrait of their our creation!

The arts help to bring positive self-esteem to young children.

I think it's important to incorporate Art projects throughout the school year to build on their character education. This project will help them to become life-long artists!
