My Project

Students will use the markers to outline designs they create, draw pictures of characters, and use in art activities throughout the year.

These permanent markers will help my students create brightly colored designs that will pop during our school’s art festival.

They will use markers for mixed media, pop art, mood, and other artistic lessons.

Please donate and help my students show off their creativity and artistic skills. Help them shine at the art festival. These markers will last a long time and will be used for classes in the future.
