Art and Italian Go Together Like Pasta E Fagioli

Help me give my students art supplies to help connect to Italian studies!

FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Gallo's classroom raised $345

This project is fully funded

My Project

Italian studies and art are a great pair- like pasta fagioli, granita e brioche, aglio e olio! This project pairs language study with creative thought. This request seeks funding to purchase clipboards for our students to engage with art ANYWHERE!

Clipboards may seem simple, but they’re actually portable creativity machines.

They turn any wall, courtyard or even the cafeteria into a workspace. For our mobile Italian Studies project, they’re not just about holding paper — they’re about holding ideas. Our students can sketch ideas, recreate a classic or even draft a new version of a Michelangelo masterpiece!

In short, clipboards let us take the classroom into the world — turning any area into a space for language learning and creative expressive.

Funding through this request will equip our students with tools needed to develop creative thoughts! Let’s make Italian Studies not just mobile — but memorable, multisensory, and artistico!
