My Project

Creativity within the Arts is an essential part of education. Creativity teaches students to think outside the box, make observations, see different perspectives, and build self-identity and confidence. The arts also make life more enjoyable, tolerable, and beautiful. COVID-19 has had a profound effect on our students.

Art and design provide a unique way for students to understand the world around them.

The sketchbooks will help both the art and fashion students envision ideas for their work. The sewing tools will help the students complete their sewing and fiber projects with ease. The paintbrushes and nice quality watercolor paper will help students in their creative endeavors. With these supplies, students will be able to explore their own feelings, create designs that speak to their challenges and hopes, and find joy in the ability to create.
