I teach middle school Talented Visual Arts students. The focus of this program is to identify students with natural artist abilities, and guide their development as artist. Many of our students receive free or reduced lunches. They face many challenges, social and economic in nature.

I love my students. They are a pleasure to teach. It is not enough to teach them how to produce art. It is also my responsibility as their teacher to show them how to market their work. This machine will make that possible. We only receive $100.00 a year to purchase art supplies. Art supplies are extremely expensive. Profits from the sale of the badges and buttons will allow me to purchase paint, brushes, canvases,and other material essential to my program.

In the past, I purchase many of the items they needed. I cannot continue paying for art supplies out of pocket.

You will make it possible for them to earn a living as artists. We will start with something small, badges and buttons. There is no telling where they will go from here.

This project will directly impact historically underfunded classrooms.
