I teach Art History AP and Talented in Visual Arts (TAV) III, IV. Our students make a fantastic, creative learning team!
My students' artwork has been recognized by numerous organizations including the Columbia Scholastic Press Association, the Rau for Art Foundation, Jazz & Heritage Foundation, Selley Foundation and the George Rodrigue Foundation among several others.
My students mostly paint with oil paint as the major medium. They also try watercolor and acrylic. It is fun to see them grow as they explore the world of visual arts!
My Project
Where is the new Picasso? Perhaps he or she is in my classroom, waiting to discover the passion of his or of her life!
Oil paint is very expensive and many of my students' families cannot afford expensive oil paints.
It would be wonderful to have a reserve to which economically challenged kids can have access. No more worries about not having the appropriate materials. No more worries about using low-quality paint that will not cooperate with my students' dreams.
This is why I am asking you to please consider funding fifteen sets of Mont Marte oil paint tubes, four other sets of oil paint tubes, as well as six sets of oil paint brushes that the students will use to mix colors for their figure paintings soon.
I cannot thank you enough for considering this gift to my classroom. Thank you for your consideration!
