My Project
Hawk Art Club is a group of students that love to create art. This is open to all students from Kindergarten through 6th grade and we work with a group of about 60 students per month. We provide an opportunity to work with different mediums while focusing on a variety of art styles and learning about various artists from all walks of life. Our work culminates in an end-of-the-year art show and event for the entire student body.
Our elementary school is a very low-income school where most of our students live in poverty.
They do not have access to resources such as high-quality art supplies - our art club helps make these accessible to all our students. Some of our art has included oil pastel Starry Night by Van Gogh, tin-foil figure sculptures reminiscent of Giacometti, Kehindi Wiley portraits, and Faith Ringgold story quilts as well as Great Waves inspired by Katsushika Hokusai.
This project will help supply students with good-quality watercolor paints. These are supplies that allow my art club students the opportunity to learn to work with this medium as they create their art.
More than half of students from low‑income households
