Creating Creative Artists
FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Samuelson's classroom raised $327
This project is fully funded
My Project
I am a strong believer that art helps students explore their emotions and gives them a sense of confidence and self-esteem. I want to give my students an outlet to express themselves in a positive and productive way. Unfortunately, some students do not have access to art materials such as watercolors, acrylic paint, colors of the world crayons, as well as pastels.
I want my students to be able to explore with the various art mediums and dive deeper into their creativity as well as increase confidence within themselves. Thank you!
This classroom project was brought to life by The Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation
