I Teach Students, Art is My Tool!
FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Manata's classroom raised $985
This project is fully funded
My Students
The students, that I have the privilege of teaching, are everything that is great about my school! They are eager to learn, kind, and concerned about the world around them. They wonder, ask questions, and look for ways to make the world a better place!
My students are very inquisitive learners who yearn to be challenged at all times. They are always excited to come to art learn about different artists and experience new and exciting materials. They look forward to coming to art each week, and I look forward to seeing each and every one of them. I teach in an urban school that is truly a gem. It is a unicorn in the city.
My Project
I try to create extraordinary experiences and magical moments for my students where they immerse themselves in the world of art and they see themselves as the creators they long to be. I believe that good quality supplies are a key component of the experience. I would love for my students to have quality paints and inks available to them to create art that is beyond their wildest dreams.
When the students experience art with quality products, they begin to see themselves as true creators and artists. Quality art supplies is often beyond our budget, but can make a world of difference in the experience.
