My Project

Students will design works of art using the paint sticks. These beautiful and vibrant colors are a great tool for students to express their feelings and thoughts through process art and project led designs.

The beads and burlap will contribute to more than one grade level and over 200 students.

It will reach 3rd and 4th graders learning about indigenous people and their art styles. Beads will also be used for bracelet making and mosaic styles.

Art supplies items like craft sticks, stamp pads, tape, and craft supplies will offer choice for students during their artistic experience. They can develop their own style and take art risks they haven't used before to create new looks and masterpieces.
