My Project

The whole school will benefit by having a variety of markers and watercolor pencils to add special effects to visual arts projects. Having access to both permanent markers and water soluble markers makes a huge difference in the appearance of projects to help makes them bold and creative. Since the materials serve the whole school students both with and without disabilities will benefit from this project.

Help me make art fun, colorful, exciting and motivating.

By donating to our project, you will not only help to improve and increase student attention and focus, you will ultimately help to increase their academic achievement. Students will be able to simply focus on the academic material at hand, and not whether their materials are going to work or not.
