Mrs. Lareau from Valparaiso IN is requesting art supplies through DonorsChoose, the most trusted classroom funding site for teachers.

Ceramics at Home

Help me give my students supplies to glaze their projects safely without having to share supplies. We are challenged in the amount of space we have in the classroom, so this extra precaution could help keep us safe.

My Students

I teach all areas of Visual Arts at the high school level for our school corporation. My classroom is a multi-function room that caters to all art forms, from drawing to ceramics to digital design.

My biggest goal in my classroom is to provide a space for artists of all abilities and achievement levels to be able to explore and create to the best possible level.

I have all levels of learning, from special needs to honors/AP students, and I think each student has an artistic vision to share.

My Project

Ceramics is a difficult subject to teach, especially when we are practicing social distancing, and also at-home learning.

I want my students to experience all aspects of the Ceramics studio, even if they are unable to physically be in the school.

Originally, students were unable to enroll in Ceramics as virtual students, but now that we have returned to all-virtual learning, my ceramics studio has been split up. Although there are several other decoration methods and techniques possible in Ceramics, I'd like my students to achieve the expected results as closely as possible to what they'd have in the physical classroom.
