My Students

I work in a Title I school in Brooklyn, NY teaching art to grades K - 5. Teaching art helps students build self-esteem and open up their world. They become risk takers, use critical thinking and their imaginations. Skills learned through art will help them in all subject areas. Working with the youngest students and those of special needs requires differentiated materials. My students deserve to expand their capabilities with the necessary supplies. Many of my students are new to the country and are unfamiliar with artists and the tools necessary to express their creativity.

My students are the light of my day!

Watching them create beautiful masterpieces which give them a sense of accomplishment and pride is amazing. The joy they experience in the art room allows them to turn-key those practices in their classrooms.

My Project

This year I am expanding my teaching art to Grades K-5! I am super excited, but need the supplies to fill up two classrooms in two separate buildings!

My students deserve all the supplies they can get to be creative!

There just isn't enough money to support all I have planned for my kids. Multicultural tissue paper for self-portraits, cool/warm paper and other materials for assorted projects and baskets for organization! Of course all the paint! Neon! Glitter! It's so exciting to watch their faces when I explain our next projects. These supplies will help start off and carry through the next school year in a way in which my students will surely enjoy.
