My Project

I teach visual arts, k-8 in, a special needs school, for students with Multiple Disabilities. A day in the art room revolves around differentiation and structure to try to meet the needs of over 50 students. I would like to enrich the art room with tools and materials that can be adaptable.

Learning styles differ from one student to another.

Throughout the school day, students experience learning in structured, yet engaging multi-modal ways. Especially in the arts, our students create drawings, paintings, and murals to share ideas and stories about how they see the world around them.

The art room is like a production house, where ideas are constantly being generated and materials are always running low! Our classroom needs materials for students to keep learning about the world around them through art in exciting and new ways. For example, I envision us using sketch books to develop our drawing skills and pastels, paint sticks, and paintbrushes to begin working on portraits and collaborative works such as murals.

I believe that these materials will help our students show and communicate ideas through drawings, paintings and illustrations. The classroom also needs other resources such as a laminating machine and paper and velcro so that the teacher can create adapted learning tools can be made to help all learners access concepts being taught in meaningful ways.

Donations to this project will make a difference in the lives of students with multiple disabilities, who are continuing to learn more about themselves and the world around them through the arts one day at a time.
