My Project

My goal for this project is to make the Art center in my classroom used daily by many students. Additionally, I want to provide opportunities to my students to be creative.

Many of my students come from homes where art supplies and making art projects are not affordable or too time consuming.

The variety of materials in my project are important because we only do open ended art. The children make what they want to make. We do not make art projects from patterns. Also, the colored paper offers a variety of ways to be creative.
