My Students

I absolutely adore the passion and love my kiddos have for art! I am so grateful to be able to teach 1200 kids who are all eager to learn and create. My students come from different financial backgrounds and have experienced very little with some of the things we explore. My kids work hard to earn bonus art time so they can create and paint on their own with me! They make my job amazing and I want to keep providing new things for them to experience.

My Project

My kiddos have been learning how to outline their drawings before applying a medium to their work. Our original (budget covered) markers are no longer working and we need new ones to continue our creative beauties!

My kids are amazing artists who just need some new tools in their artsy toolbox!

My kids love to paint, color and paint. Did I mention paint? We need permanent markers to help create wonderful looking paintings and other work. A good outline is like a good book; it takes us to some wonderful places! Please help my kiddos get everything they need! They deserve the best!
