Classroom Furniture for Art Class

Help me give my students workspaces where they don't have to deal with broken and graffitied tables and chairs. The Drafting tables, lights, and electrical supplied would be set up for each student to have their own space.

My Project

Students in my classroom are dealing with broken and dangerous seats, graffitied and gouged tables, and no real furniture workable for creating art. Our budget for new furniture has never existed since I have been teaching. We are making due for now, but safe functional furniture would be a necessary upgrade for our art classes.

Tables, Stools, Lights, and Electricity for each student will make a world of difference in their ability to create art.

There will be no more holes in paper, poked through due to chunks removed from the tables, no more Band-Aids given out from being cut on exposed metal from the chairs, there will be pride felt by students who have the ability to use equipment that is safe and functional.
