Special Supplies

Help me give my students luxury items. I find that if I teach an art lesson and provide nice paints, brushes, pens, canvases, and pens then the quality of the fine art is superior.

My Project

Art skills are very useful in education. With common core standards, students are required to do group projects that require illustrations. They need to fine tune those art skills in elementary school.

In my class we generate high quality art!

We need the luxury art supplies not provided by an elementary school budget. The paints, brushes, and canvases make it possible to improve our skills. We have art shows. We display our artwork in glass cases in the school and hallway.

At the end of the school year, everyone has new skills they are able to use throughout their education. Our science projects, presentation artwork, and sketches are also improved with high quality materials.
