Help me give my students the art supplies they need for their creative projects!

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Gates's classroom raised $405

My Project

My students are creative super giants! The supplies I'm asking for is for a class entitled "Creative Explorations". They get to choose a topic (interest) that they're passionate about and create whatever that involves. They can do it on their own or with another student who shares their interest. They also journal about it weekly and the projects culminate in a presentation (5 minute minimum). They have the choice to have it last the entire trimester (12 weeks) if they need it or split their time in half and do 2 projects. From painting, modeling clay, paper machete, and anything needed after researching their interest, these supplies can make all the difference in their ability to do them.
