Mrs. Ratliff’s Classroom Edit display name

After following several different art teachers on social media, I soon discovered the magic of black lights in the art room. I have always been disappointed that I teach in a classroom with no windows, but now it has given me the perfect atmosphere to create a memorable art experience. With the purchase of these materials, students will be able to create art in the dark! My dream for this project is to create a glowing gallery art show in the spring. I want families and their children to play and invent new possibilities together. Picture walking into a room and seeing the students' faces when the lights are turned off and "magically" their art lights up before their eyes. We will create a new world together with neon art supplies. I want the students to help curate the art show and make and choose pieces that will be displayed in the gallery. The students will choose a theme, and together we will create pieces for the glowing show. Help me create this unique environment that will instill creativity and promote play within the arts.
