My Project

I am excited to present the second installment of SES's Art Club for the 2023-2024 school year! To achieve our vision this year, I am seeking support for acquiring essential art supplies, inspiring art books, and sustaining a conducive environment with snacks for our art sessions.

This year, Art Club is focusing on enriching the art club experience by ensuring students have a diverse range of art supplies, including their own sketchbook, a wider variety of paint and colored pencils as well as a facilitating a space of book dividers to store all of their creations.

I also want to establish a dedicated art library with inspiring books on art history, techniques, and various art movements.

I hope to create a comfortable and nourishing environment for creativity by offering snacks during our art club meetings.
