My Project

I teach Harbor Studies in the NY Harbor Middle School and run a Crafts after school program. I am also a language teacher, and students learning both Spanish and English need creative ways to put a picture to their words, and vice versa.

My students love to create things, and we need more materials for them to design their own ideas and make them come alive!

These books on how to draw and materials to do so will inspire my students to design and shape new things... including some we never could have thought of. Thanks so much for your support!
