MLK Elementary K-3 Art Studio

Help me give my students a drying rack, modeling dough, and other supplies for more options while creating in our art studio.

FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Garcia's classroom raised $996

Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

Celebrate Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

This project is a part of the Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month celebration because it supports a Latino teacher or a school where the majority of students are Latino.

My Project

The students at MLK Elementary are learning to be creative and make personal decisions in their artwork. These supplies will help them by giving them more choices.

Stocking our art studio with these materials will increase engagement and excitement for all of our K-3 students.

My artists have been needing more space on our drying rack. Adding an additional rack will give us more space to create. Because we do not have a kiln, my students rely on using air-dry clay to explore sculpture. Different color options will inspire my artists' creativity.
