My Project
As a visual arts educator, I believe that every masterpiece begins with a bold idea — and sometimes, that idea needs space to grow, shift, and evolve before it ever touches paper. That’s why I’m creating the Creative Minds Brainstorming station — a dynamic, paper-free zone where students can sketch, plan, and ideate freely using dry-erase surfaces.
With your support, I’m requesting whiteboards, clipboards, and materials to build makeshift whiteboard stations throughout the classroom.
These tools will allow students to:
Jot down spontaneous thoughts during class critiques
Sketch out drafts and experiment with layouts
Collaborate in small groups without wasting paper
Revise and refine their ideas with ease and flexibility
This project empowers students to think like designers, communicate visually, and embrace the process — not just the final product. By providing reusable brainstorming tools, we’ll cultivate a classroom culture where innovation, reflection, and creative confidence are part of everyday learning.
Help us bring this vision to life — one bold idea (and one dry-erase marker) at a time!
