Clean, Creative, and Capable

Help me give my students clean, sterile, and safe ways to create their artistic visions!

My Students

When students return to school, it will be even more difficult as they will not be able to share art supplies. My students will need to put their creative thinking skills to the test in order to continue to grow and practice their visual language skills, drawing skills, and critical thinking skills.

My Project

This year, my students will be attending school using a hybrid model where they receive 2 days of in-person instruction and 3 days of online instruction per week. These materials will help my students keep a clean, sterile, and safe environment when they are working during their 2 days a week of in-person instruction. Typically, art supplies are shared between students. While this will not be the case for this year, the materials in this project will help keep our art supplies and work spaces as clean and sterile as possible.
