Help my students become the next Michelangelo!

Help me give my students an opportunity to create Art with their hands! I don't have Art materials to do amazing art projects in my classroom.

My Students

I have a blended classroom. I have diverse learners and general education students. Most of our students come from impoverished homes and don't have access to high-quality books, materials, and technology.

I believe that all students should receive a high-quality education, that propels them to become college graduates and go into STEM careers.

I want to continue fostering a love affair with learning while promoting positive self-esteem. My babies are the future, and it's my pleasure to see their journey.

My Project

I am exposing students who come from impoverished homes, in many different ways. We are now looking at sculptors, and they are really interested in sculpturing. Sadly, I don't have the materials to foster their excitement.

I want my students to become the next Michelangelo!

I think it is so important for students to learn how to use their hands. I am going to plan a trip to an Art museum, but I want them to have experience with various Art forms before going. I also find that Art is very therapeutic, which will help my students with social and emotional issues. Please help my students explore the love of sculpting!
