Paint Markers for Posters

Help me give my students paint markers to jazz up posters and artwork for school assemblies.

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Hope's classroom raised $214

My Project

In our afterschool club, my students are always pushing new ideas and finding new art materials to work with, like paint markers. This same eager group helps create posters and decorations for school assemblies, targeted SEL initiatives, and for their own art. Paint markers are always the go-to medium of choice because they have the same look as paint without all the mess. That's a bonus for clean-up and a classroom time saver.

I need new paint markers to create posters and artwork for our next school assembly.

Our current supply of markers is shared among over twenty students four days a week making them dry out fast.

Having more sets of markers to go around will enhance the quality of the art since everyone will have greater access to an array of colors and can complete their designs as they envision.
