My Project

The art supplies that I am requesting will provide a foundation for various projects, from greeting cards, multi-media art projects, and 3D models. Students will use these fun watercolor brushes to learn about color blending, techniques, and the various ways that we can manipulate paint with water paper. The diverse materials that I requested will inspire my students to think outside the box and explore various artistic techniques. Art projects will also improve studentsʻ dexterity and hand-eye coordination. I hope to use art projects in my classroom as a medium for my students to express their feelings and experiences.

My classroom is a beautiful group of multicultural backgrounds, with students, representing a variety of cultures.

By using art as a means of expression, students can share their cultural heritage, traditions, and stories, which will further foster an inclusive environment where all students feel valued and heard. Thank you for considering our project!
