My Project

These supplies will ensure our students have the tools they need in order to create detailed art pieces on various mediums(molding, folding, and various uses of color to showcase complimentary colors the correct way).

Our goal for this project is to build the Art Program to higher heights than before.

Enriching our students to take their art to the next level. Getting students to foster good habits to have a better understanding of art influences communities and culture of the school’s vision and values. Trying to put the “A” back in STEM. This a step in the right direction. Thank You for reading.
