Art Is the Way to Their Hearts! Budding Artists Await

Help me give my students art supplies to enhance our weekly curriculum and expose them to famous artists.

My Students

My first graders are full of wonder, excitement, and enthusiasm. Two of their favorite subjects are art and science. When possible, I try to incorporate them together. I teach art weekly but am lacking some art supplies that would enhance our art projects. Our school is located in a small town in Eastern Montana. The school has 10 teachers in total, spanning grades k-2.

My Project

The requested materials will help me teach art more effectively. I integrate art into as many subject areas as possible. I previously taught in Washington state. We studied famous artists and created new pieces of art based on those artists. It exposed students to a wide genre of art and artists. I would like to do the same by studying a famous artist monthly, as well as having weekly art lessons that go hand in hand with our learning objectives. The students in my room love art and look forward to our weekly art day.
