My Students

"I am as curious about color as one would be visiting a new country." - Henri Matisse

The curiosity and enthusiasm of my young artists knows no bounds.

Every day in art class we make new discoveries, create new colors, and design new images. I teach students in grades PreK - 8, and whether we are building tissue paper rainbow fish or crafting charcoal sketches, each day is a new adventure.

My Project

I would love for my artists to explore the world of watercolor. This proposal requests watercolor paints, brushes, paper, and a drying rack to hold all of our masterpieces. These watercolor supplies would open up a whole new artistic world for my students.

The Arts are an essential piece of any student's education.

Please encourage my students to continue exploring the world of art, in all of its many mediums. We would love to share our work with you!
