Celebrate Black Teachers and Students

This project is part of the Black History Month celebration because it supports a Black teacher or a school where the majority of the students are Black.

My Project

Durability and Longevity: Permanent markers are long-lasting, reducing the frequency of replacement compared to other markers. This can lead to less plastic waste over time.

Educational Value: Teaching scholars about the durability and permanence of markers can help instill values of responsibility and care for materials, which can translate to broader environmental consciousness.

Confidence Booster: I feel that student develop great confidence while working with markers as the need to use the eraser is diminished.

Educational Value: Teaching students about the durability and permanence of markers can help instill values of responsibility and care for materials, which can translate to broader environmental consciousness.

Versatility: Permanent markers can be used on a variety of surfaces, reducing the need for additional materials like labels or tape. This can result in less overall waste generated in the art class.

Sustainability in Art Projects: Permanent markers can be used in projects that promote sustainability, such as upcycling or repurposing materials. This encourages students to think creatively about reuse and waste reduction.
