My Project

We currently do not have a Art teacher at our school, and I want my preschoolers to use their talented, little hands to create fabulous works of art! There are no art galleries or art centers nearby where my kids can go and create art, so I want them to create art and display them for others to see.

Help my preschoolers host our 1st Annual Art Gallery.

All I have is construction paper, crayons, markers and a few glue sticks, but we need more supplies. Please help my preschoolers use their own creative ideas to create projects to display in our Art Gallery. It is my hope that I will cultivate and inspire future artists!

Students will watch various videos of famous artists to help inspire them to create. Students will present their projects to the class to improve their public speaking skills. One of preschool's objectives is for students to use their hands and to explore the Arts, your donations will be used to help them master those objectives.

My students have not had many experiences with various materials and your resources will expand and inspire them to choose careers in the Arts. I will read them various art books, introduce each art item to them, send a newsletter home to involve their families and put their art projects together. We will invite classrooms to see their finished projects and keep them displayed in our classroom. I also have diverse learners who have never created works of art and this will enrich greatly.
