Help me give my students resources for creating art and expressing themselves in unique ways!

My Project

These items requested in my project will be used to incorporate art into lessons on a regular basis within my classroom.

Painting and creating art is a FANTASTIC way to express oneself and focus on the power of art!

I'm asking for canvases, paint sets, paintbrushes, and pencils so that they have all the resources needed in order to make unique pieces of art. Painting is healthy in SO MANY WAYS and I hope to incorporate this option regularly. Creating lessons that focus on cross curriculum is also extremely important. I'm so excited to see what they will create!
