My Project

My students show great interest in the arts. Having more supplies and different types of materials will help them grow in their artistic abilities. These materials will help me grow and extend the art center for better learning. My goal is to help my students grow artistically and find a passion for the arts. My students are poverty level and do not have access to many art supplies. When they go to art center I want them to find amazement in the materials that are percent for them to create with.
