Paint Pucks to Make Our World Brighter

Help me give my students brand new tempera paint pucks and refill sets.

FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Rider-Browning's classroom raised $485

This project is fully funded

My Students

My students attend an inner city neighborhood public school in Indianapolis. Many students come from low-income families and depend on the art supplies in my classroom to be able to fully express themselves. I serve students beginning in Pre-K and continuing through 8th grade.

My students are creative and ambitious scholars that never fail to amaze me with their dedication and hard work in the arts.

They always strive do their best and are willing to take on challenges and solve artistic problems head on!

My Project

My students have been using the same paint pucks for longer than I have been teaching them art. Most of our paint pucks are near empty. Students depend on these for creating all types of art, from landscape paintings to self-portraits, to experimenting with new techniques, and learning color theory.

Fresh, new paint puck sets and refills will help my students brighten up their world and our school.

They'll allow students to not only express themselves more fully, but their art will be displayed in our school hallways to help add personality and color to our building.
