My Project

Due to class size limits and my students abilities/disabilities within our special education class, they are do not always have access to classes that enable their creativity to flow. By providing them with canvasses and painting supplies, they will be able to explore techniques used to produce artwork that inspires their growth.

My goal for this project is that they have the experience that all students should, to express themselves as well as follow through with design creation to produce a product that they can share with our community and their families.

My students are special because of their nonstop commitment to learning and enjoying life. They deserve to be able to have opportunities afforded to ALL persons, regardless of the capabilities or limitations. They have a wonderful outlook on life and love to create things with their own hands, including their creative passion in the process.
