I teach in a Title one school. I teach Art. I love giving my students as many art experiences as I can using different media. I have never been able to teach using canvases because we have a large school and a small budget.
I would love to allow my Fifth Graders to have the experience of painting on an actual canvas.
They love to paint and I know they would love how the paint works on the canvas. Fifth grade is the last year at our school, so I would love for them to have a keepsake of their Fifth grade year.
Art is part of us, it teaches us, grows with us and helps us find who we are in the world. Please help my students express themselves on a canvas that can last a lifetime.
Nearly all students from low‑income households
