My Project

The art room is a place where students can show their enormous creativity! Unfortunately, the square footage we have to create in is not enormous, and our classes are very full. Using stools for seating in the art room gives us more space for students to create. A stool can easily be stored under the table to give student artists additional room to move and different angles for them to approach their art-making. By ditching conventional classroom chairs and upgrading to stools, the art room will be an even more inspiring space for student artists to create their masterpieces!
