My Project

I am adding Art 1 to my schedule next year and will need new supplies to get the class up and going on our campus. With the start up of a new class there are several supplies that are needed but have a large up front cost associated with the class.

One of the larger expenses is cardboard scissors and oil pastels.

With these supplies, students will learn how to using oil pastels and have an introduction to 3D art through cardboard sculpture. This lesson takes place during the second semester so students have acquired basic drawing skills and will be able to apply them using the exciting medium oil pastels.

Once these supplies are purchased, they will last for several years and serve hundreds of students!
