Unleashing Creativity with Essential Art Supplies

Help me give my students art materials so they can use their imagination to keep creating!

My Project

My students love to draw and express themselves through their own art.

They use the passion they have for drawing in the classroom to explore new ways to use their creativity through crafting and art projects.

One of the ways they do this is through STEAM. They use the skills they are currently learning in the classroom to explore art in different ways and connect it to what they are learning. The various materials (crayons, crayons boxes, and construction paper) would allow them to create art projects and color them with the colors they like to express how they see the world from their own point of view. I can't wait to see the many things my students will create!

This project will directly impact historically underfunded classrooms.
