Creating Confidence Through Clay and Canvas

Help me give my students clay and canvas to grow their confidence in working with clay and paint!

FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Hale's classroom raised $624

My Project

My students are looking forward to exploring different materials in art and growing their confidence to create more than just pencil drawings.

When asked what they wanted to learn in art this year, more than 80 percent of my students answered, “To become more familiar with clay and painting!” I am looking forward to providing this opportunity for them.

While we do have some materials, I would like to provide all of my classes with an equal opportunity to grow their clay and painting skills. By receiving clay and canvases, each of my students will be able to create a ceramic project and a painting on a canvas this semester.
