Completed:Digital Photography "Life Through a Lens" part 2
"I teach middle school art, grades 6-8 in Maryland. We are a traditional middle school with "at risk students." Resources are slim here, but we truly want to provide the richest educational and art experiences possible. We believe our students deserve all of the best.
"I teach middle school art, grades 6-8 in Maryland. We are a traditional middle school with "at risk students." Resources are slim here, but we truly want to provide the richest educational and art experiences possible. We believe our students deserve all of the best.
We are beginning to jump start a photography/journalism program here and it cannot happen without you. We are interested in teaching the students to value and document their middle school experience through photography and art.
We need cameras! We need beginner, but high quality cameras to get the ball rolling. Our students love to photograph and be photographed, and this gift will help make that happen. We want our students to know, not only that this technology is within their reach, but also how to use it give them voices that many people will hear.
Your help will bring us one step closer to empowering to students with that voice. We at this school think that the time is now to help guide these students into a culturally rich and fulfilling life. We want our students to show the world through their pictures what life here means and what being at this school, at this time is all about.
My students need 5 easy-to-use reliable digital cameras.
The cost of this proposal is $863, which includes shipping for any materials requested and fulfillment ."
Thank you so much for funding my project. Our students are hungry to learn, and we need every resource we can get. I can assure you that our students will make the most of this great opportunity. I, as an artist and art teacher, am excited to give my kids a new, culturally relevant tool with which to communicate. I can't thank you enough!
