Experience Art!

Help me give my students supplies students aren't used to having to give them an opportunity to create!

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Hunter's classroom raised $452

My Project

The students I work with aren't used to using watercolors or paint sticks. I am hoping to give them an opportunity to use these items to express themselves in a unique new way!

I am hoping to broaden their artistic horizons!

I have different projects planned to use the various materials from this order. From self portraits to "feelings" drawings, students will be able to have a new creative outlet for expressing themselves and they will have a new medium to use when doing so.

I am also planning on showing students works of art that hang in galleries that use the same medium we will be using in the classroom!
