My Project

Every creative environment needs a strong foundation—and in our visual arts classroom, that starts with a space that’s organized, accessible, and ready for bold ideas to take shape. Right now, we’re in need of two sturdy classroom cabinets to safely store design materials and art supplies, which are currently stacked in ways that make easy access and organization difficult and creativity harder to spark.

As a visual arts teacher, I serve students with a wide range of cultural backgrounds, learning styles, and artistic goals.

By organizing materials into clearly labeled, secure storage, I can ensure that every student—whether they’re working on traditional illustration, digital design, or mixed media—has equitable and consistent access to the resources they need.

These cabinets will also help streamline how we prepare for advanced projects, making it easier to offer more student-driven design experiences. From screen-printing to branding projects to senior fine art seal portfolio work, having organized supplies helps reduce barriers, spark independent exploration, and foster a stronger sense of ownership and pride in our studio space.

With your help, this upgrade will support a more inclusive and effective learning environment—one where materials are within reach, and creativity can flow without limits.
