My Project

My students love art. They love to paint and see their creations come to life. Each year, I strive to give them a variety of art experiences. We need fresh paint in an array of colors and mediums to help us represent our unique styles, learn about various artists, and create a variety of original projects. In addition, we could use a drying rack to provide more space for projects so more than two or three classes can paint on the same day.

Using a wide variety of mediums with bright colors to help their artwork pop right off the page will inspire them to use their imaginations and let their creativity flow.

The majority of my students are in kindergarten through fifth grade, and they are excited to come to class when they know they are going to paint! We display their art in the hall for the school to enjoy. At the end of the year, we celebrate with an art show for the students' parents and families.
