Aspiring Artists

My students need watercolor art supplies: paint, paper, and various sizes of brushes to create beautiful art projects.

My Students

Creativity and artistic talent abound in my classroom, however we lack the supplies to create the amazing art that my students are capable of. My students need different sizes of brushes, a rainbow of colors of paint in their palette, and paper made specifically for watercolor painting.

My students are diverse culturally, religiously, and economically.

They are highly motivated, eager learners who love to be challenged. We are a high performing school that has managed to keep arts education a strong part of our curriculum. I would like to keep up the creative part of the elementary school curriculum by having the materials and supplies that I need to foster creativity in my students.

My Project

Watercolor painting is a beautiful visual art form that I love to do with my students. Have you ever tried to watercolor paint on drawing paper, though? It becomes a ripped mess! I would like to provide watercolor paper, full palettes of paint, and various sizes of brushes so that my students can create exquisite paintings that they can treasure for a lifetime.

This project will enable me to keep visual arts in my curriculum, and to teach students artistic technique with high quality materials.

By using these artist-quality paints, paper and brushes, my students will be able to create paintings that will last a lifetime.
