Help me give my students the opportunity to explore themselves through visual arts. My objective is for students to have an understanding of layouts and have them gauge what type of visual artist they strive to be.
FULLY FUNDED! Mr. David Johnson's classroom raised $245

My Project
Having art supplies will improve students' ability to express themselves creatively and assist them in exploring their artistic abilities. Many of my students have expressed either pursuing the arts as a career or a potential hobby that they can utilize to brand themselves during high school and once they graduate. I see this as an opportunity to nurture their curiosity and provide support for my students while they are creating their own identities and as an outlet for them. If students can discover their potential talents and other interest they have, this can improve their self-esteem and foster their sense of identity, and be able to continue to society and possibly the workforce.
