Making Mandalas!!!

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Mauldin's classroom raised $160

This project is fully funded

My Students

My students consist of artists in Pre-k through 5th grade with varying exceptionalities. My students are part of a rural community in central Florida with limited resources. We have many homeless students and 100% of our students are receiving free or reduced-price lunch.

Learning through the integration of art is essential to my students' educational and personal growth as lifelong learners.

Art allows them to see the world through many different lenses. Nothing compares to the look a child gets when they have pride in something they have created. I strive to give my students the opportunity to achieve this experience each and every day.

My Project

My students love to create. We are well rounded, innovative and outside the box thinkers. My students need materials for creating art at center time, like Spiral Art Design Center. They will be able to create radial designs called Mandalas through the use of the Spiral Art Design Center.

Through the design process, students will use art to influence the creative process.

Art is the creative aspect to the imagination process. You cannot invent, create or discover without the integration of art and the design process. These design center and paper will give students the opportunity to explore, design, invent and imagine. Without imagination, ideas would not happen.
