My Project
By providing quality art supplies, this project will give
young learners the freedom to explore color, shape, and design, building confidence as they express their unique voices.
As one teacher noted, “art projects … provide an outlet to express themselves creatively”.
Art isn't just fun—it’s therapeutic. With consistent access to creative tools, students can reduce stress and manage emotions in healthy ways. DonorsChoose projects often highlight art's power to "help calm them when feeling overwhelmed or stressed".
Art activities encourage collaboration: sharing materials, co‑creating, and celebrating each other's work. This strengthens bonds, enhances empathy, and fosters a positive, inclusive environment .
Integrating art with core subjects enhances engagement and comprehension, like drawing story scenes to deepen literacy lessons. As one teacher put it, art connects our curriculum to art projects, bringing stories and concepts to life
Not all families can afford art supplies. Your support ensures every student has the tools to participate fully, closing opportunity gaps in the classroom. By funding this project, you’re not just donating markers, modeling clay, craft beads, yard, and paper—you’re investing in a space where imagination flourishes, emotions are honored, and every child feels capable and included. Your gift will make a meaningful, ongoing impact on their creative and emotional growth.
