Art From the Start

Help me give my students tempera and acrylic paint and supplies for projects inspired by Ruth Asawa and the art of gyotaku.

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Jennifer's classroom raised $767

My Project

Kindergarten students are natural explorers and artists! They confidently experiment with new materials, eagerly discuss their design choices, and love to share their art (and see others' as well)! I am requesting materials that will support arts adventures that engage and inspire young learners.

I am asking for materials that will support both everyday painting and crafting as well as larger projects.

Our city's art high school is named for Ruth Asawa. I would like to engage students in learning about this local artist and her work, culminating in the creation of yarn and wire sculptures. I have wire, but need yarn, cornstarch, and glue. I am also requesting materials to try gyotaku (fish printing) - I have fish models and rollers, but need muslin, scissors with which to cut it, paint, and swabs.

Your support will provide hours of hands-on learning in Kindergarten.
