Help me give my students black light poster paints to create paintings that Glow!
FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Downes's classroom raised $170
This project is fully funded
My Students
I teach 500 students art each week. Half of our school is high-achieving magnet students and the other half consists of local neighborhood students. It is a Title I school with most of our students having free or reduced lunch.
My students are passionate about learning art and using their imagination to be creative.
I love to see their individuality come out in their artwork as they express themselves through various mediums in my class! We have many talented young artists!
My Project
My classroom was recently gifted a black light to help exhibit glowing masterpieces created by my students. However, to make these masterpieces, we need GLOW paint! I plan to collaborate with our science teachers to teach my art students about the solar system! With these black light poster paints, we will be able to create some amazing, BRIGHT representations of our planets and stars! The kids will be so excited to see their masterpieces glow under the black light! Please help this idea become a reality! We just need paint!
Nearly all students from low‑income households
