My Students

Students at our school are very diverse and come from a variety of cultural backgrounds that create a great melting pot school community.

We are a dual site school and have a building for lower grades of pre-k and one for upper grades of 3rd-5th.

As the primary art teacher in both buildings I strive to provide students with as much exposure to a variety of art materials and experiences as possible on a low budget of art materials and supplies each year.

My Project

There is a limited budget for art materials and no budget for furniture such as stools for the art studios.

The stools I have requested promote better posture for working at the art studio tables and will also be easier to move around the room and configure in a variety of different ways.

Students will be able to fully experience working as an artist from sitting in stools and have the ability to get up and get needed materials and tools when necessary. New stools will also allow for easier movement and traveling for teachers around students at tables when assisting and meeting with them.
