Let’s Make Some Art!

My Project

My fourth grade students come from historically, minor backgrounds, and often faced systemic barriers to education, opportunities and resources. Access to quality art supplies is not a luxury- it is a vital component of a well -rounded education that fosters emotional expression, and cognitive development .

Art enrichment empowers students to explore identity, build confidence, and communicate in ways that traditional academic subjects may not always allow.

For many of my students, creative expression becomes a powerful tool for processing their experiences and connecting to their learning and meaningful ways.

However, limited access to materials like paint, sketchbooks, colored pencils, and crafting tools, restrict their ability to fully engage. By providing them with the necessary, art supplies, we can create an equitable learning environment, where every student has the opportunity to explore, imagine, and thrive. Investing in their creative growth is investing in their voice, their joy, and their future.
