My Project
Art is a form of self expression, it is something that helps grow the mind and channel intense emotions. Art can be a chance to learn, explore and adapt to the world around us whilst getting to learn about ourselves. I am asking for colored pencils, artists chalk, oil pastels, markers, paints and crayons so the students can learn about different mediums and understand color theory. The construction paper is intended to offer different color options for students to create their artwork, whether it's for a sculpture, drawing, or painting and to also create their own sketchbooks that they will use throughout the year to keep track of all the things they will learn. Our kids are creative and curious and some of our children do not have access to these materials at home. I believe no matter what a kids situation or home-life is, they still have the right to have every resource for a creative outlet at their fingertips.
The students of my school have not had an art teacher since November of 2022, by donating to this project you will give students the chance to learn about different artists, different mediums and offer them a chance to express themselves through art.
My goal for the school year is for my kids to develop and strengthen their awareness of the visual world around us by understanding Design Principles, the masters of art and how impactful art is in our lives.
I look forward to your assistance to help my kids have a wonderful art experience this school year! Thank you :D
