Painters Need Brushes

Help me give my students a variety of brand-new paintbrushes to use in art class!

My Project

My students love painting! The kids get so excited whenever they see that they will be using tempera or watercolor paints. Their excitement translates to high levels of student engagement and fantastic art-making. Our brushes are used often by my 150 students every day though, and it shows. Bristles become frayed and the tools no longer support optimal painting technique development. Our art program would benefit greatly from brand-new paintbrushes. We have the paint and dedication to put them to great use. Thank you for your consideration and support!
