Making Our Mark on the World

Help me give my students the joy of drawing. All of the items in my cart are needed by my students. Marker class packs are especially helpful when you have many students working at one time.

FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Biddix's classroom raised $241

This project is fully funded

My Students

My students are bright, creative, and eager to learn. They love coming to art class. My students have very creative minds. My students live in an urban community.

My school is a Title I school, but that does not prevent my students from learning about and being curious about art!

They love different art experiences. We try to use as many different media as we can fit into our program. These various types of media include painting, drawing and the use of technology.

My students enjoy art. It is the best time of their day!!

They are enthusiastic and are usually up for any art challenge!

My Project

The materials in my project will help my students express themselves with color, pattern and line. They love to draw. As an art teacher, I know how important self expression can be. Many of my students find drawing calming and relaxing.

The release of serotonin in the brain when students draw is like a tonic for some of them.

They can forget about the pressures of school and engage in a pleasurable activity.

Our current marker supply is getting low and drying up. The purpose of this project is to replace worn out markers for my students. Drawing is great!
