Currently, my 400+ students come to art class excited to create artworks that help them grow and enhance their self-esteem. However, interruptions to their creativity and progress happen when cracks in the 30+-year-old chairs pinch the back of their legs, they can't sit completely in their seats when a bolt has popped up on one side of the seat, and chairs bump back-to-back when students sit forward actively working, causing the art room to be a tight, cluttered maze of furniture. Elephant Z-stools will be new, working, actual ARTISTS stools that encourage students to actively work at their fullest potential!
