My Project

A new school year is approaching and I can't wait to get messy and creative with my art students! I teach art to the entire school in grades Kindergarten through 5th grade. For many students, especially in Kindergarten, there will be a lot of "first" experiences in the art room from learning how to hold a pair of scissors to using new and exciting materials. I absolutely love witnessing my art students' creativity in all its glory!

Art supplies such as Model Magic modeling clay, Kwik Stix paint sticks, Do-A-Dot Art Sponge Tip Paint Markers, and Adaptive Scissors will help young artists increase fine motors skills and self-confidence while creating masterpieces with supplies that are made for their little fingers.
