My Project

My students are avid learners and explorers of art. They love to read, look at pictures and explore new art and artists, but my artist library is in desperate need of a refresh. These books will ignite a passion for the arts and help them to connect with a variety of artists from around the world.

Art resources are vital visual tools that enhance learning and will bridge the gap for my diverse students.

These books will be available to the students from artist research, to inspiration, to students who need a calming spot and read.
