My Project

What I love most about my students is their creativity, their passion, and the unique perspectives they bring to each piece of art. Each one of them has a story to tell through their work, and it’s a privilege to help them share it with the world. To truly honor their art, I’m requesting cardstock and double-sided tape, two resources that will enable my students to present their creations in the most polished, professional way possible.

Cardstock is the perfect medium for mounting artwork, it comes in a variety of colors that will highlight their skills and make each piece pop.

The right color choices can enhance the emotions conveyed in the artwork, giving it depth and impact. With cardstock, my students will have the ability to customize the presentation of their art, selecting backgrounds that align with their unique vision.

Double-sided tape, on the other hand, offers a simple yet effective way to mount their work. It allows for easy application, ensuring that each piece stays securely in place without the mess or distraction of other adhesives. It also ensures a clean, seamless finish that showcases the artwork rather than the materials used to display it.

The goal for this project is to empower my students to not only create art but to present it in a way that reflects the care and precision they’ve put into their work. These resources will make a huge difference in their learning by teaching them the importance of presentation and attention to detail. What makes my students special is their unyielding enthusiasm and the pride they take in their creations, and I’m excited to see them curate exhibitions that are as impressive as the art itself.
