Creative Faces

Help me give my students blank masks to decorate for an exciting and creative art project.

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Russell's classroom raised $168

My Project

I love how expressive and imaginative my students are. They enjoy hands-on projects and love turning simple materials into something amazing. Art gives them the freedom to explore their feelings, ideas, and unique points of view.

The masks I’m requesting will allow students to create their own designs as part of a fun art project.

This activity will help them practice creativity, fine motor skills, and self-expression. Each student will get to decorate a mask that reflects their personality or a story they want to tell.

My goal is to give students a chance to explore their artistic side while learning about identity, emotions, and storytelling through art. This project will also encourage confidence and pride in their work.

What makes my students special is their creativity and love for learning through doing. They enjoy making things with their hands and are always proud to share their artwork. These masks will give them a fun and meaningful way to express who they are.
