My Project

Great thinkers help change the world. How many new inventions have debuted as luxury items a few years ago, but have since become necessities? Children need to be exposed to new ways if we want them to develop a creative mindset. We want them to ask questions and create solutions for them. "Art makes better humans, art is necessary in understanding the world and art makes people happy. Undeniably, art is not optional." The materials I've requested will make art a necessity in my pre-k classroom. Cardboard scissors will allow our class to be stocked with cardboards supplies whenever we get an orders. Other mediums will allow our kids to explore and express their creativity in unique ways. The standard art materials will replenish our depleted supply, while the unique materials will be introduced into our project center. A new inventor's box has been developed for students to unleash their creativity even more.

Nathan Sawaya said, "Art nurtures the brain.

Whether made from clay, paint, wood, or a modern-day toy." The great thing about art is that it can be created with almost anything. Children and even adults can benefit greatly from just sitting down and allowing their minds to explore creatively and artistically. Our kid's will have access to these materials at school and they will also be sent home so they can be artists wherever they go. Your support will keep the innocence of childhood in pre-k and promote the importance of art.
