Now You See Me: Bulletin Boards for All

Help me give my students a bulletin board to showcase their art work.

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Hope's classroom raised $421

My Students

I serve students in the historic Bronzeville community on the south side of Chicago. Surrounded by rich cultural institutions which include the Bronzeville Children's Museum, the Southside Arts Center and the Dusable Museum, the community sits in proximity to art resources. My students are excited to explore art mediums especially clay. At our school, art is a form of relaxation and a means to social and emotional healing from the trauma which also exists within the community.

My Project

My students produce lots of art work every day. I have to save and stack them away year after year. We do not have any bulletin boards in the art wing to show off the many drawings and paintings created by our young artists. It's hard to give peer feedback and shout outs across grade-levels since each grade only sees what their class has done.

Having a bulletin board for each grade-level, eg., primary, intermediate, middle will make visible all the projects different grades are working on.

When students see what their sibling has created, and what they themselves will work on in the future, it generates anticipation, curiosity and excitement in the art classes.
