Inspired Artist

My students need supplies to explore the world of watercolors! First graders depend on artistic expression since they are still working hard on writing competence.

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Carrico's classroom raised $380

This project is fully funded

My Students

Inspire the artist in each child! Our class needs art supplies to help us explore our artistic abilities.

We are a first grade class in Nevada ready to take on the world of watercolor!

Art supplies are hard to come by with the challenging economy, but that doesn't stop us from exploring artistic expression and wanting to create inspiring pieces of art. Our class is ready to tap into our creative minds!

My Project

My students need scissors, painting kits,and paper. With the watercolors, my class will be able to experience the beauty and joy that comes with creating art. Liquid watercolors offer vivid colors that can be used to make a child's painting come to life. We will be able to discuss famous artists who used the watercolor medium. Students will be able to experience the magic that comes with gently pulling a brush across a piece of paper.

Donating to this project will bring art and creativity to the lives of these children.

It is so important to support the arts in a time when so many cuts are being made to education. Help us ensure that art will not be on the chopping block!
