My Project

At our school we like to allow our students to express themselves with the use of art. In this project our students will use the markers, chart paper, and other materials to create art that will be displayed around our school.

This art will be surrounded around our next unit where we talk about Native American tribes.

Students will conduct research on Native American culture and different aspects of their lives. This research will be done in the form of an art display where students will use these requested materials to showcase their findings.

We hope you donate to our students in supporting art and learning.

Ms. Petersen
Grades 6-8
