My Project

My art rooms need help! I teach visual arts at two Columbus City Schools, I am lucky6 enough to have a classroom at both schools-but funding two classrooms has been a lot. This year, I have noticed that the organizing equipment is not adequate to give my students a choice based curriculum.

My classrooms are taught with the idea that Art is imagination, creativity, and production of ideas and my classroom needs help with that!

I currently have a broken table that wobbles so much that my students cannot use; I am asking for one new table for our art classroom and smaller storage cabinets that the students can reach for the collage studio. These items would make a huge difference to my young artists.
