Awesome Art Exploration

Help me give my students an awesome art center! I feel it is important to give students the opportunity to explore hands-on art with all the mess that comes with it!

FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. White's classroom raised $915

My Students

Our classroom is comprised of students, 3-5 years of age, who vary in ability level. Half of my students are typically developing peer models while some students need extra supports to meet developmental targets.

My student body is a lively, energetic group of learners that are excited to attend school!

They come in each day expecting a challenge mixed with some fun! It is my goal to give students experiences they may not get to experience otherwise, such as painting, cooking and sensory play... all while learning academics and social skills.

My Project

I have taken over a newly formed preschool classroom, which opened with limit art supplies. The paints we do have were purchased at a garage sale. We have no easel. By offering children a vertical surface for art, they are building motor skills, hand eye coordination and the work is at their eye level.

In our current times, our children are bombarded (and very proficient) with technology.

These children have fewer opportunities to make messes and create masterpieces than previous generations. The goal is to give the children the opportunity to make something they can be proud of. Help them discover their inner artist! You may be helping mold the next Picasso!
