Currently I am using the supplies that the old art teacher had which only consists of dried up markers and broken color pencils. I was lucky enough to have watercolor sets for every student in the building and am currently teaching them how to paint even though I do not have a sink in my classroom. My students want to learn how to paint. Although, I do not have a sink I do not allow it to stop me from pulling out the paints. Even if it is causing extra work by constantly refilling and dumping out buckets of water every 40 minutes. My students and I work together to be able to paint. Currently the bushes that came with the watercolor sets are not good quality which prevent my students from making good paintings. Good materials will allow my students to have a easier time being more creative and producing great artwork.
