My students are from low-income families. Sixty percent of the students in my school are at the poverty line. They enjoy the arts, and making art gives them a sense of achievement. It would be fantastic to offer different art materials to them this year to increase their knowledge of other mediums. Students have mentioned that the art class is the one place where they can have fun and create. When the kids walk by the art room they wave at me and say they can't wait untill art class again.

I would like the students to be able to experiment with clay. It would be great to give them the opportunity to create a three-dimensional object. My school does not have a kiln so crayola air dry clay and the various supplies will give them a new and creative experience. It would be a blessing to have these materials for my students.
