My Project

As the new school year approaches, my students are in need of basic art supplies in order to have a fulfilling and exciting year. Markers, pastels, crayons, papers, and paints will be for the multifarious illustrations we'll make through the school year, while the yarn, cord, and beads will aid in their exploration in weaving in the fall. My students will also engage and learn techniques in shaping things from clay, including making snails, monsters, and small food replicas as well!

These supplies, though basic, will make a huge impact on each student's experience for the coming school year.

Having access to these art mediums will enable my students to create and grow in their imagination, critical thinking, and overall art skills. And, of course, it will help them have fun! Thank you in advance for your help and contribution to our art class!
