My Project

My students come from low income families. They learn best from hands-on experiences. These children love art and getting messy. They love to create and make their own projects.

It is my hope that with play-doh, paint and markers the students will be inspired to create their own open ended art projects.

The process of art, rather than the product is what helps our youngest learners to grow.

Thank you in advance for helping my students to find their inspiration to create amazing art that will inspire others as well.
