Help me give my students accessible ART! With things like the storage cubes and cubbies, I will be able to put the materials at their fingertips students will have the freedom to openly express themselves!
This project is part of the Black History Month celebration because it supports a Black teacher or a school where the majority of the students are Black.
My Students
I teach ART at a unique and wonderful school! My students come from every walk of life and have lived through many different experiences; many of which no child should have to go through. From insecure housing to loss of family, consistent moving, and fear of hunger, these issues trouble my students. However, these kids have the biggest will to want to escape what they are facing, finding solace in the art room.
While they are guarded and slow to share emotions, some of the most exciting and genuine expressions come from my students.
Overall, I have heard horror stories and tales of tragedy from my students. I have also heard some of the most amazing ideas, seen the strongest efforts, and witnessed incredible will.
My Project
By using storage cubes next to the tables, I will be able to put their materials in the students' hands! They will be less distracted picking at the materials on the tables and have a sense of organization and belonging in their art room.
Many times younger students, like our K-2, will miss out on doing things like paint due to the difficulty in materials and routine.
With the new organization and Tempera Paint Cakes, the door opens to the younger students to find new and exciting ways to express themselves.
