My students need these markers, mat frames, posterboard and other supplies to get ready for an upcoming art show. The paper and the mats will be to help properly display their work.
Remember seeing your artwork hung up ready for viewing? I remember the care my art teacher took to hang my work. He matted every piece, and there were several pieces in the show. I want to present my students work to the public with the same level of care.
My students are from a small rural town.
Many have never been to an art show. This art show may be the first time they have ever had anything out for people to view. This is a brand new art class and this is my first year at this school. I need these supplies to properly display the students work.
My Project
Most of the supplies will be used to display art work that the students have already created. The markers will be used to create a few more works. One project will be a Pointillism project, and a second will be a repeated pattern project. I added the wire in the supplies because all of our work has been two-dimensional. The wire is a simple introductory activity to three-dimensional sculptures.
The supplies in this project will help show off their artistic talents, and show how proud I am of their work.
I want the display to be as nice as the work. This will also be the first impression of the art program for many community members.
