Watercolor Wonderland

My Project

My middle schoolers are creative and love expressing themselves through visual art. To continue their creative learning, we are in need of new, quality watercolor supplies such as watercolor palettes, metallic liquid watercolors, and fluorescent watercolors. These resources will allow them to bring their creations to life. Watercolor art can be a bit intimidating and hard to control. I want to help them to build their confidence using these resources.

My goal is to teach them engaging watercolor techniques in a fun, engaging way.

Thu,s welcoming them into an art-filled wonderland of watercolor.

This project will directly impact historically underfunded classrooms.
