In The Tiki Tiki Tiki Room

My students need color pencils and electric sharpeners to create their Surrealism landscape using Disney's Tiki Room as inspiration.

FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Colcord's classroom raised $452

This project is fully funded

My Students

Everyone knows Disney's Tiki Room and the magical effect it has on children. That is our inspiration for a surrealism art work.

We are a school in California which is in dire need of funding.

Half of our students receive free and reduced lunches and many cannot afford the basic school supplies. Art supplies are in short supply and always needed. We appreciate any donation.

My Project

Students will be able to use these colored pencils and electric sharpeners for several years. Prismacolors are excellent for blending and creating magical artworks. We will be using Disney's Tiki Room as inspiration to create a surrealistic dreamworld landscape. Students will let loose their imaginations and create a unique piece.

With the pressures of standardized testing and students having to take more academic classes than ever, Art is oftentimes set aside.

Students need art as a way to experience creative expression and have a break in their day to decompress and relax. Art is soothing, inspirational and helps students become problem solvers and improve critical thinking skills.
