As an art teacher, I see all 440 students in the school each week. That's 440 lives we get to change each school year. As a child, I LOVED creating art work and now I get to spread that joy as an Art Teacher to my students in a Title 1 School. For a large majority of my students, my class is the only taste of art they will get; I intend on giving them the BEST experience they can have. One problem we have in our classroom is when I model or teach a new skill. Many students cannot see from their seats and the carpet is too crowded. With a document camera and color printer, I will be able to show the students the work zoomed-in and will also be able to give them colorful copies for their work desks.
