Help me give my students receive new art supplies. I want to provide class sets for my students so they do not have to share and wait for others.
FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Armell's classroom raised $357
This project is fully funded
My Project
We are requesting funding for essential art supplies for our K-8 art classroom. Specifically, we are seeking support to purchase paint brushes, solid paint sticks, and paint bottles for the distribution of paint. These materials are essential to provide our students with the opportunity to explore their creativity and develop their artistic skills.
Our students, ranging from kindergarten to 8th grade, benefit immensely from hands-on art experiences.
However, our current supplies are limited, and we need new resources to ensure that each child has the necessary tools to express themselves fully. Paint brushes will allow students to practice techniques that develop fine motor skills, while solid paint sticks provide a versatile medium for both younger and older students to experiment with vibrant color application. The paint bottles are crucial for efficient and safe paint distribution, helping to minimize waste and keep the classroom organized.
By providing these materials, we will create an enriching environment where students can confidently explore different art forms, whether they are painting, blending, or experimenting with textures. These supplies will also foster collaboration and creativity within the classroom, allowing students to work on both individual and group projects.
Your generous support will directly impact the creative growth of our students and ensure that every child has access to the materials they need to succeed in the classroom. Thank you for considering this request, and we look forward to your positive response.
