Celebrate Black Teachers and Students

This project is part of the Black History Month celebration because it supports a Black teacher or a school where the majority of the students are Black.

My Students

We need your help to continue on with our creative education and project-based learning activities.

Most of the students who attend our school come from low-income homes, foster homes, or group homes.

We also have a large number of special education students, so hands-on materials are very important for our students' growth. They learn best with hands-on materials and experiences, which can be difficult because materials cost money. Our school relies on finding funds from wonderful people to help us purchase the supplies needed in our classrooms.

My Project

My students would like to create a project using melted crayon and watercolor. My students love everything their is about watercolor paint. They can spend hours making numerous masterpieces in the art room. I attended a workshop that showed me how to use the Melter kits and watercolor to make some very stunning art pieces.

Melted crayon art is an easy and fun thing to do for those artistic adventurers out there.

It's so simple, yet the end result can be stunning. No wonder the trend is all the rage! You can make melted crayon art using the melting kits and the explore how watercolor paints will not paint over the melted crayon.
