My Project
My first-grade after-school art group is so much fun to teach! The students come in excited and ready to be creative. Their energy and love for art make every class special.
Each session, we use a different kind of art material like tempera paint sticks, dot markers, crayons, or colored pencils.
Sometimes, we mix different materials together in one project. This helps students learn how to be creative in new ways.
To help with our projects, we often need for supplies like paint sticks, dot markers, drawing paper, cardstock, as well as other art resources. These tools let students explore and bring their ideas to life. It's such a joy to see how proud they are of their artwork!
Nearly all students from low‑income households
