My Students

Do you remember your first experience painting, creating a collage, or experimenting with messy materials? My students are open to new experiences with any materials, but we don't have space in our classroom to lay out work that is wet!

I teach art to elementary students in a public school.

They are eager and responsive to art projects that directly relate to them. Part of my mission as an art teacher is to provide my students with as many experiences with art materials as possible to help them find the areas where they can excel, and we can't do that without a drying rack to store artwork from one class to the next.

My Project

My students need a drying rack so we can store and protect their wet art projects in between classes. I don't have enough floor and table space to keep work laid out without something being messed with from another group, and with multiple classes in the same grade painting, making collages, or printing, it makes it impossible to create an art program that can reach its full potential without the right equipment. We also need a set of paint trays with lids so the paints don't dry out in between classes when we need particular colors that have been mixed.

With a drying rack and a set of paint trays with lids, our class can run smoothly and efficiently and allow students to learn technical skills of how to mix colors, print, cut, paste, and draw with materials like glue, as well as consider a variety of important concepts such as place, metaphor, memory, and fantasy in their work.
