Every Masterpiece Starts with Paper

Help me give my students the paper they need to create, explore, and share their artwork. Paper is one of the most important supplies and it is also one of the most expensive and consumable materials we use.

My Project

My students are creative, curious, and full of energy when they walk into the art room. I love how they approach each project with excitement and imagination, often surprising me with the unique ways they solve problems and express their ideas. They take pride in their work and are always eager to learn new techniques and try new materials.

The mixed media paper and watercolor paper will give students strong, high-quality surfaces that allow them to truly explore painting, drawing, and mixed media processes without frustration from thin or fragile paper.

These materials will help them slow down, take risks, and build confidence in their artistic skills. The black construction paper will be used to mount and display finished artwork, turning student work into meaningful displays throughout the school that celebrate effort and creativity.

My goal is to give every student access to quality materials so they can fully experience the artistic process from start to finish. I want them to not only create art, but to feel proud of it and see their work valued in our school community.

This project will directly impact historically underfunded classrooms.
