My Students
My students are eager to learn to cultivate their creativity. Most of the students I teach do not have art supplies at home. I have students who are constantly asking to borrow crayons or even pencils, so they can draw at home.
The students I teach have never been exposed to art and are hungry for it.
I only have 45 minutes a week with each class and I strive to expose them to everything I can think of. I want them to touch and use every art supply that I can get my hands on.
My Project
I would like to give my students the opportunity to play while learning. Lego's provide and excellent way for students to build their fine motor skills and use their imaginations. This set of bricks will help them explore how buildings and structures are made. This will also help them develop skills in math and geometry.
I can't wait to see what students can create.
Students have the capacity at this age to see outside the box in ways that most adults can't. Picasso said that his goal in his artistic life was to "think like a child".
More than three‑quarters of students from low‑income households
