Back to the Basics

Help me give my students some basic supplies to start the year off right. We will be using foamcore to make giant flextangles, and almost a month into school several students still do not have sketchbooks.

My Project

My students are energetic, highly motivated, eager to learn, and they love art class.

My goal is to give them the best experiences that I possibly can.

The foam core board will be used to make a giant 3D interactive sculpture, called a flextangle. The sketchbooks will be used daily for students who don't have the ability to get their own. Sketchbooks are an essential part of art class and they help students stay organized, which is an important life skill that I want to instill in them at a young age.
