Since Covid our budget has been slashed. I very much believe in using art as therapy and if there are any students that could benefit from art, it is them. I teach 2 painting sections this year and do not have the funds to send home kits. At this point most of my students are distance and some are hybrid learning. These supplies are not for one project, they are for getting through painting while in distance learning. If I can give them the resources they deserve, I believe they will be much more successful at completing the courses I teach.
