My Project

Students can greatly benefit from having art supplies in the classroom for many reasons. By engaging in artistic activities promotes creativity and self-expression. Art provides a unique outlet for students to express their thoughts, feelings, and ideas in a visual form, fostering a sense of individuality. Additionally, it helps diverse learners have an opportunity to demonstrate mastery in ways that go beyond the standard essay or worksheet.

These art supplies will be communal, meaning that many students throughout the day will have access to these materials.

Colored pencils, pastels, drawing pencils are desperately needed.

By having a community art supply bin, students will learn the importance of sharing materials.
