My Project

To truly participate in the process of creative thinking, students need to be able to explore all types of art materials. It really does spark their imagination in such a special way. Imagine watching them explore with painting, building or sculpting with clay. It is magical to see their enthusiasm in the exploration and the different processes. And, Yes, Art can make a "Joyful Mess".

With your donation, my "Artists in Training" will develop an appreciation for the entire artistic process from start to finish.

Cleaning up the last step in the process. To start, organization is the key. The reality is that over 600 students will come into the art studio each week. Easy and accessible storage is very important. Disinfecting wipes makes the space safe and sanitized for everyone.

When students leave the art room it is my goal that they will have pride in their entire artistic strengths and that they have participated in supporting our beautiful school community.
