Ms. Dills Prieto Artists

Help me give my students the basics we need in my new classroom for the upcoming school year! I am also putting a set of neon paints into my curriculum so we can create a black light museum!

My Project

As a school, painting has always been a successful way for my students to be creative and to learn about art. I am planning to expand this by also having a community art show and having a black light museum using the neon paints. My students are excellent artists who deserve the best materials. They have proven over and over that they will rise to any artistic challenge I place before them with excitement and enthusiasm. This year I am going to be in my very own classroom for the first time in over a decade and I am looking forward to giving my students new experiences.

Building on the strengths of my artists, I would like to be able to provide them a variety of paints to work with.

While I currently have a small amount of materials to do small assignments, I would like to have full sets of new and inspiring materials to reward all the hard work and learning that has already taken place with my students.
