Awesome Artists: The World From Our Point of View

Help me give my students a paper cutter large enough to handle the size of their artwork and painting panels for them to create high quality work and learn how to present it professionally.

Celebrate Black Teachers and Students

This project is part of the Black History Month celebration because it supports a Black teacher or a school where the majority of the students are Black.

My Students

Our school is an arts integrated school based on the Expeditionary Learning model. Our students learn to think critically through deep exploration and to be more active in their classroom, the school and in their communities. Because of where our school is located, many of our students face challenges in their young lives that would test the strongest of us, yet they strive for their personal best in spite of these obstacles. They are passionate about helping to make positive changes in their community. Our students are amazingly talented and participate in many performances and exhibitions both locally and regionally.

My Project

I would like to be able to provide as many visual arts learning opportunities as possible for students and to expose them to a wide variety of art media. Most of these materials are quickly exhausted and, with a limited budget, can not easily be replaced or are just too expensive to purchase.

With the current social unrest on their doorsteps, I have designed an art project that will give students an opportunity to speak their minds and hearts through visual arts, and project panel boards will serve as a base for the student's work.

Our students take pride in their work and learn the importance of producing high quality work at every stage from production to presentation. Much of our equipment is very old and needs to be replace. The priority is to replace the equipment that is most important in helping students achieve their learning goals. The old cutting board no longer cuts and so a new cutting board large enough to handle the larger pieces of student work is at the top of this list.
