At our school, we have been working on building up our art program in order to give our mostly low income, minority students, the opportunity to succeed at the AP level of art. We have added a drawing class, a 3D class, and this year I was given permission to add a 2D class. In this class, I have been teaching students painting techniques using watercolor, acrylic, and oil paints.This has been an expensive class to add to our curriculum, and our fees are minimal and do not usually cover all of the supplies necessary. I looked into buying these easels at the beginning of the school year, but my supply request was already to expensive and I had to cut a lot and make do with lower quality paints and brushes. I would like these easels in order to help students learn correct form while painting, as well as helping with the need for space in the art room.
