My Project

We need to refill the items we use the most in the Art room.

Drawing paper, Sharpies, paper plates, clay and watercolor sets will give us a fresh start in the new school year starting in August,

With these supplies, we can draw, paint, print and collage many projects. On the agenda are self portraits, Gelli printing, styrofoam printing, fake foods and more.

We go through this list about three times a year.

All of these items will be used and reused and students will have new supplies to create their work.

Thank you in advance for supporting us!

Ms. Watkins will only receive her materials if this project is fully funded by August 28.
