My Project

Children love to create! Creating art expands their ability to interact with the world around them, and provides a set of skills for self-expression and communication. Art also helps to increase fine motor skills, problem solving skills and imagination.

Art matters, it is a fundamental component of what makes us uniquely human.

Art is a natural activity that supports free play in children. The freedom to manipulate different materials in an organic and unstructured way allows for exploration and experimentation. My students love to color so the markers, paint and crayons will have them super excited! . The items in this project will allow my students opportunities to express themselves, create masterpieces, be organized and have a great time doing so!
