My Project

Tempera paint cakes are similar to watercolor paints, only they last longer and don't make as much of a mess. Using these paint cakes has been a game changer for my art classroom. These paint cakes last longer than other paint. It allows me to do more painting projects with my students.

Tempera cakes create less mess than other paints.

Students don't seem to make as much of a mess as they do when using regular tempera or acrylic paints. This allows us to have more class time with less clean up.

There is also less waste. Students only use what they need. There is no waste. Tempera paint cakes are much more cost effective than any other paint. Thank you so much for your donation and helping us to restock our paint supply!

Ms. Witte will only receive her materials if this project is fully funded by May 8.
