My Project

My class participated in two art activities when we visited the Whitney Museum of American Art. They made abstract art using shape stencils and colored pencils. They explored overlapping shapes and making shapes inside of shapes. They also created 3-D art using pipe cleaners. My students adored both activities and I would love to have those same materials on hand for students to use during center time. We could also use copy paper for drawing and paper for painting.

Your donation will enable my students to express themselves creatively through art!
