My Students
My student artists are yearning to engage with new artworks and reading materials. When I say "smartest," they say, "artists!" My students understand the importance of finding meaning and reasoning behind their work. Art is not only about creating artwork from paper and pencil but being able to read and do research about artists and artwork that help them understand their place in the world. Art is not just about papers and pencils, it is about mixed media as well as research!
My Project
For the past two years due to covid-19 restrictions for spacing and materials management, my classroom, like so many others across the country, has looked completely different. One thing that was a huge change was that instead of sharing 100% of materials equally, students now bring their own art boxes to class. This is a huge annoyance for many students, especially younger fourth grade artists who struggle with managing a box on top of books and waterbottles and computers as they walk down the hallway.
This project would allow me to purchase materials caddies that would be on each individual table so that the materials could be shared between two students, as well as allow the purchase of drawing boards so that students could have their own clear space, allowing ease of cleanup and ownership over their physical space in the art room.
My current art boards are old and inconsistent in size and material. Some are cracked, some are made of a particle board that can sometimes leave a residue on student work.
