My Students
My students are creative, talented, and eager to pursue the discipline of music. My Title I school is a dedicated visual and performing arts school; providing an opportunity for students with a desire to pursue serious music or art study in addition to core studies. However, the expense of a musical instrument, or supplies, can be a block for some students. My students come from a variety of backgrounds and over 60% of the families are considered low income. Our goal is to remove as many hindrances as possible so that each child can simply focus on their academic and artistic goals. That is where we need your help.
Our students come from many cultures with varied backgrounds, influences, and support, that, when pulled together towards a common goal, can improve their lives and the lives of those around them.
Our goal is to provide not only the opportunity, but the resources for our students to be successful.....whatever it takes!
My Project
The materials in this project will allow our art students to explore different artistic mediums. Many of our students are just learning about the range of hardness available in graphite pencils, others are developing their blending skills and have requested blending stumps in class. With some of our classrooms being converted into art space, water is not necessarily readily available for full acrylic or other type of painting, so watercolor pencils offer both a new technique and are more usable in any given space.
We want to encourage our artists to use every type of medium they can!
Doing so will give them additional skill and understanding. Our desire it to encourage our art students to use as many mediums as possible.
More than three‑quarters of students from low‑income households
