Studies show that students who are given opportunities to explore their creativity through the arts are happier, healthier and more successful. The supplies I have chosen for our classroom will help foster that creativity and help make students well-rounded learners. As of now, I do not have ample supplies for each student to participate in whole group activities. I am using supplies collected over the years from the beginning of the year school supplies provided by parents and much of those supplies, such as watercolors, are well beyond their lifespan. The hexagon trays help with the design aspect of visual art and will be used for instruction as well as production aids while creating. Also, I have asked for a drying rack (bumpers) because of limited space in the classroom to store projects while they are drying. The display supplies (matting boards, laminating film, tape etc) will help to make student work visible because celebrating student work is part of building confidence and pride in work. I would like to have an art show at some point for parents to celebrate the creativity of my students. Having professional looking display materials, students will understand the value that I place on their projects and hopefully gain pride in their work efforts.
