My Students

Students at Meadow Heights are eager to learn and enjoy the hands on learning applications. There is school spirit shown at each activity whether it is a basketball game, a fundraising event, or school carnival.

"Creativity is the power to connect the seemingly unconnected" - William Plomer.

Art class allows for students to become larger thinkers thus allowing for creativity to flow through the work of my students not only in art class but as successful youth in our community.

My Project

My students need a new large paper, and small paper cutter for our classroom. These resources will be used to allow for students to be able to cut paper down to proper size for projects and edges and borders off of artwork for framing.

"The arts, quite simply, nourish the soul - they sustain, comfort, inspire.

There is nothing like that exquisite moment when you first discover the beauty of connecting with others and celebration of larger ideals and shared wisdom."

Art helps make that happen by making sure that identities and their cultures are given due recognition around the world. This is why we at The Artist believe that art is a form of creative human expression, a way of enriching the human experience.
