Essential Tools for Young Creators

Help me give my students essential supplies for our middle school art class!

My Project

My middle school art students are curious, creative, and eager to learn. These supplies will keep the art room humming along while supporting the learning of over 100 students. I’m requesting educational posters about color theory and printer ink to support our daily classroom needs.

Color theory posters will give students a constant visual reference as they explore how colors interact, mix, and communicate emotion in their art.

These visuals are especially helpful for students who benefit from learning through images. Printer ink will help our studio keep moving forward and allow students to print reference images as needed.

Thank you for supporting the Arts in public education!
