My Project

Since my students WANT to learn English you can provide the materials for me to hook the students and teach them how to learn the body parts while painting a self portrait. We are requesting paint, paint brushes, and canvases so we can paint our self portrait.

The students will learn parts of the body and face in English and their reward for learning this will be the opportunity to paint a self portrait in the classroom.

My students all come from other countries and they don't have any art materials at home to express their artistic abilities. This project will allow their parents to have something they created while learning the parts of the body and face in English. My students will gain positive self esteem because they will be able to showcase what they have learned in English.
