My students need rocks for painting, a rock painting kit, permanent markers and paint marker pens to create "Healing Hearts" rocks to help heal hearts from a community tragedy.
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 to a wonderful group of students in Pre-K - grade 5 and 2 autism cluster classes. When my student see me in the hallway, they stop me and want to know what the next art project is. I have made it my mission to bring the best art supplies, technology and art enrichment to my students.
We are a Title I school, because 90% of our students receive free breakfast and lunch.
We strive to help meet the needs of every student. We have academic clubs, after-school tutoring, and daily academic pull-out programs. Our students also have an after school sports club with the local police to build teamwork and positive experiences in the community. These additional programs have helped our students, and they have done well on standardized tests.
We have a well-rounded specials program with music, art, P.E. and media.
My Project
Our community was recently affected by a terrible tragedy of violence in a local high school. My students have asked me for paper and markers and I let them express their feelings through art through drawings that have personal meaning to them.
I want to help heal sad hearts though "Healing Hearts In Art" with painted messages and colorful symbols of peace and kindness on rocks.
Students may paint the rocks with their special meaning to help with healing. They may place their rocks in our garden that we are rebuilding, share at the local high school, place in the community, or bring home to celebrate to bring joy and heal.
The Art of Stone Painting, Creativity For Kids Hide and Seek Rock Painting Kit and Deluxe Rock Painting Kit, With Rocks, Arts and Crafts Kit for Adults and Kids will also inspire additional ideas, provide visual references, and steps for students to express themselves for this special activity.
This is a project dedicated with peace, love and kindness and with sensitivity to the needs of our community though the arts. Please consider helping heal through the arts.
