My Project
DVHS art students are creative and eager to learn! A gift of the materials requested in my cart will enable my students to explore and expand the boundaries of their ideas and encourage them to push limits even farther.
Art 1-2, 3-4, and 5-6 are courses that allow learners the freedom to make mistakes - This is how we learn!
Specifically, drawing pencils help students to sketch out their concepts, and materials such as markers, watercolor media and colored pencils help us bring our ideas to life. The mixing of these materials can create extremely original projects and give art students the opportunity to experiment.
Thank you for supporting my students as they strive to become the future leaders within our society and assisting me as I continue to give them the skills and confidence to do so.
