This project is part of the Black History Month celebration because it supports a Black teacher or a school where the majority of the students are Black.
My Students
Our school is preparing our students for college. I have very creative minds who enjoy working with their hands and have the potential to be recognized for their artistic talent. My students attend school not just to learn about curriculum, but gain invaluable tools to help them be successful in wherever life may lead them.
The students I get to work with come from many different backgrounds from low income, single-parenting and have learning disabilities.
Whatever the case may be, our school fights for their students to have the best education and most importantly, opportunity for every child to have an equal choice, a good foundation to start their beginning.
What I do know, is that my Y5's - 8th-grade students want the best. We have a 1st grader leading the way for us, whose artwork titled "Teamwork," was accepted in an art contest. Great things are happening and I want to keep that momentum going for my art students as well as their overall education.
My Project
Clay and modeling tools have a sacred place in the art room. My students love to work with their hands and go out of their way to make sure their behavior and attention is 100%.
The art classroom transforms into another dimension when you see students create with clay.
Our supply is limited, which is why we need your help. The passion of our students when working with clay is deeply embedded, and I want to use this insight to keep them engaged and open to all that art can offer.
Great work is exploding from my students; I want the passion to remain! Time in my art class is limited and very precious. As an art teacher, I want my students to learn and enjoy art. 3D art is a method of unlocking great treasure for my students so they can appreciate visual arts and enjoy the experience.
