Ms. Allen from Walnut Grove MS is requesting art supplies through DonorsChoose, the most trusted classroom funding site for teachers.

Have a Heart for Art!

Help me give my students the gift of art! I have selected items that will allow every student in the building to create quality art projects using watercolors and tempera paint!

Celebrate Black Teachers and Students

This project is part of the Black History Month celebration because it supports a Black teacher or a school where the majority of the students are Black.

My Students

I teach art at a small school in a tiny and rural Mississippi community. For most of my students, the only exposure they have to the arts is through school and my art class!

Our school may not have a lot of what other schools have, but we've definitely got the talent!

I am constantly amazed at the creativity that pours out of my students on a daily basis. Despite our limited supplies and tiny classroom, my students appreciate what they have and always put their all into their projects!

My Project

My budget for art supplies is usually only a little over $1.00 for each student to last the entire school year. On such a small budget, I often have trouble providing my students with the materials they need to help them explore different mediums and create quality works of art. I have selected items that will allow each student in the building to create a watercolor project along with a tempera paint on canvas project.

Our room is tiny, but our dreams are big!

Because my classroom is in a very small trailer, I also requested shelves and a drying rack to help make room for the supplies and allow students to have a safe place for their canvases and watercolors to dry between classes!
