My students need canvas panels to continue growing as artists. They are able to paint on paper right now, but I would love for them to experience the different texture of painting on a canvas panel.
FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Hurrle's classroom raised $292

My Students
My students are creative, clever and very spontaneous. They like to move, they love to draw, paint and sing and love lots of positive attention. Many of them are being raised in single parent households and receive a free lunch based on their socioeconomic status. These things may prevent them from getting ahead early in life and may not provide them with the life experiences many of us see as "typical."
From the minute they walk in the door of my classroom I focus on their potential and growth while they are with me.
I may not be able to control their home lives, however, I can certainly control their experience during the school day. By doing this in a creative and positive way, I am hopeful to inspire even our earliest learners to continue on a path of academic excellence.
My Project
My students will use the canvas panels to create mixed media projects and landscapes with acrylic paint. They will learn how to mix colors and create images that capture their personality.
Many of my students have never had a chance to paint on a canvas before.
Canvases are expensive not a normal part of my classroom budget. I will teach them how to mix colors, use paintbrushes correctly and create an image that they will be proud of. Our county art show is coming up and I would love to be able to enter everyone of my students paintings this year!
More than three‑quarters of students from low‑income households
