My Project

I feel that creation and expression is an integral part of a well-rounded education. It is important for our students to have exposure to a variety of art modalities. Art can be so beautifully woven into any curriculum and allows children to become so engaged and expressive in a multitude of ways. My students, K-12 deserve to have supplies that are in working order. Through new art supplies my students will be able to hone in on their creative abilities all while learning new and various forms of art. With the 7 drawer cart I will be able to organize project ideas by grade level. The model magic and watercolors will allow my students to think outside of the box and create something spectacular. The media paper will be a great place for my students to express themselves artistically without worrying about tears.

The watercolor masterpack will give me enough packs for each student to have their own, the Sharpies are a staple when teaching the students about pointillism.

The sketch pads and oil pastels will allow students to freely express themselves through sketches. The speedball brush soap will allow my paint brushes to live a longer, cleaner life.
