My Project

I have never seen a more excited child artist than the one that loves to build. Creating things that they see is the most natural form of art that my students do. My kids are natural builders. They decorate and experiment with mediums and supplies.

With the materials that I am requesting , Sagebrush artists will be able to imagine new possibilities in building and creating art.

This specials group of students have no fear in the art room when it comes to designing their own work. They are confident, creative problem solvers. This is why having the tools to continue the artistic process in important.
