My Project

My school is located in rural Indiana. We are a small school district with only one elementary school. I see all 700 students weekly in my art room. My students are all different, but they have a love for learning and exploring.

Please help us get some new tempera paint and finger paint.

We are in need of skin tone paint colors. It is important that all student feel included when we are painting self portraits. We are also in need of some magenta and turquoise paint. The students love these colors and we go through these colors quickly. Finally, we are in need of some finger paints and paper for my adaptive art class. They love to finger paint and explore colors!

Thank you for considering our project!

Mrs. Turpin
Grades 3-5
