Paint in Every Color

Help me give my students tempura paint, watercolors, brushes, paint trays, and aprons to create backdrops for stop motion animation projects.

FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Festa's classroom raised $357

This project is fully funded

My Project

We are excited to start our first STEM class in our building. Our students will be creating stop motion animation sets for one of their projects. Students will be given the multiple options of media for designing their backgrounds.

Students love to create their backdrop designs using tempera paint or watercolors.

Students love to mix colors to find the perfect shade so they will need paint trays to mix paints and brushes. They need aprons to protect their clothes and will use the little cups to store paint while in use.
