Mrs. Malan from Pleasant Hill CA is requesting supplies through DonorsChoose, the most trusted classroom funding site for teachers.

Art Supplies

My students need to restock their art supplies. Prismacolor Markers, Paint Markers and pre-fabricted ceramic pendants will help to meet the various needs of my students.

My Students

Middle school students are so eager to learn. They crave new information. Hands on activities with different materials assist my students in exploring complex concepts. The markers and prefabricated ceramics that I need for my class will create greater variety in the medium of expression.

My students might not have the money to go out and purchase different art supplies for the class, or to even donate to the school so we can buy supplies.

It takes up most of my budget to keep us stocked up with the basics. My students are individuals and need a variety of materials to express themselves with!

My Project

My students will be able to learn about the mechanics of art, as well as art history through a variety of art supplies. Painting is a difficult medium to master, and although I do require students to paint, I feel that offering them a variety of other materials to work with can help build their self-esteem if they can be more successful with a paint marker than a brush and paint. The prefabricated ceramics will also achieve this goal by making it possible for everyone to create a project that is aesthetically pleasing.

My students need to enjoy learning, and I have a classroom full of different ability levels.

I require a variety of teaching materials to meet the needs of all of my students. Please help me to achieve this by expanding our supply list, and by providing students with materials at their level. Art is all about students learning how to use different media to express themselves, but it is expensive to provide such a variety on limited donation funds.
