My Project

These students show that they have an interest in learning and have been expressing this with strong arguments in class. These materials will help this group of young artists paint their idea as all great artists do. This will allow for a boost in their confidence as they too will be using materials similar to what professional artists are using. The lesson will have students explain an idea on a given topic/theme that integrates with another content area. Students will be able to identify and name materials from a primary experience by usage, and may corroborate with what they see in other existing artists masterpieces.
