Art for All

Help me give my students a year of art to remember! I want to provide my students with every opportunity to try every type of art medium. This donation has many supplies we would go without, otherwise.

My Students

I work with a fantastic population of completely diverse students. Some were born here, and some just arrived to the USA. The diversity and culture combination in my classroom is one of my favorite parts of being an art teacher.

I have found that the common language among my students is Art!

I have found that the learning community in my classroom is wide open. I learn so much from my student as they get to share their experiences. I feel blessed to have the best job in the world; growing right along-side my students.

My Project

My students will be using many different art mediums this year, many of which the classroom is short on.

In order to provide a full art experience to all of my students, I need to make sure the essential supplies are available to them.

Tempera paint will be used for many projects this year - more than I can count. We will be doing some printmaking, which many kids don’t get to experience in elementary, but is so important to cover! I also use oil pastels in more projects than I can count - including one where we make our own scratch boards.
