My Project

My students love art. These new supplies will allow them to continue creating amazing things. We go through so much paint, glue, and crayons that it can be hard to keep up with it! My students currently only have small scissors so it can be challenging for my older kiddos to cut with the "baby scissors." The DTF drier will make printing and making shirts in graphic design so much easier!

My students are very artistic and love painting ceiling tiles; therefore, we go through a lot of paint.

My littles love gluing things together and this year we went through glue quicker than I imagined, The glue gallons will help with that problem.

All of my students, pre-k through twelfth grade, work hard on each project so I feel that they deserve to have great, working materials!

The chairs will be a much safer route than the stools I currently have. The DTF oven will make our shirt making process move smoother and quicker. The mosaics and canvas' will allow my students to think outside of the box and create more outside of the box artwork.
