My Project

We are asking for kwik stix fast drying paint sticks, snowflake texture plates, and oil pastels.

Painting alternatives like kwik stix and oil pastels bring color mixing, blending, and painting-like textures into our artworks without using paint and a paintbrush (which can be challenging for students with fine motor issues or for our Early Childhood learners).

These options can expand our media horizons in art but still instill confidence and the desire to explore in our curious students. Snowflake textures are a great tool for us to use for MULTIPLE projects, grade levels, and for years to come.

This project will directly impact historically underfunded classrooms.
