While constraints can often facilitate creativity, it's easy to feel discouraged when a student has a great concept for an artwork only to have its creation be limited to art materials they happen to have at home. Most students can find a pencil, and many have a camera on their phone which restricts our curriculum to mostly drawing and photography. The goal of this project is to create an art kit for each of the 11 high schools in our school district that help facilitate our school's online students and support them in a more rich artistic experience regarding media use. Instead of being limited to a mere pencil, students would have the ability to go to their digital curriculum classroom and choose from an array of colored pencils, chalk pastels, watercolor, and acrylic paint. This opens up a world of both visual and tactile experiences and allows students to follow through with their artistic concepts instead of having to limit them to what a pencil or photograph can provide. This may also foster students' artistic endeavors that they would have otherwise not considered if they were unaware of the variety of art materials available. Providing these art materials would be both an equalizer for diverse socioeconomic, emotional, and cognitive backgrounds, and a facilitator of all creative endeavors at our school.
