Easy LCD in Art

My students need a presentation cart for our LCD projector for easy access to art images from around the world.

Ms. Preisen J Ward Elementary School
Chicago, IL Grades 6-8

I teach PK-8th grade art in a high-need diverse community in an urban area. Our students come from different cultures and the common language of art helps us to communicate who we are and where we have come from.

Many of our students do not speak English and a verbal description of folk art or a Van Gogh painting just won't do. Thankfully, with technology, we can see art from around the world in our classroom.

We are fortunate enough to a have procured an LCD projector to see art images, but a proper cart would give us easy access and set up for presentations (and a quick getaway vehicle for the projector once the messy art-making begins!)

Since I have been able to show examples of artwork with our projector, student intrigue in the world of art and inspiration for their own work has increased. With your help, a projector cart would make it faster and easier to show images.
