My Project

The colored pencils and acrylic paints I’m requesting will allow my students to build a strong foundation in color theory. We’ll use the pencils for practicing color blending, creating value scales, and understanding color relationships. Once they’ve developed their skills, students will apply what they’ve learned in a final acrylic painting project. These supplies will give them the tools they need to turn their ideas into vibrant, polished works of art. Access to good-quality materials not only helps them learn the technical aspects of art but also boosts their confidence and pride in what they create.
