My Project

Painting in the elementary school enhances fine motor skills, cognitive development, and emotional regulation providing a crucial outlet for creativity and self-expression. It strengthens hand muscles, improves hand-eye coordination for writing, fosters problem-solving and focus, builds confidence, and offers a calming, therapeutic break, boosting overall academic and emotional growth. All of our projects are colorful and help brighten that halls of our schools. Painting is considered a "whole child" activity, aiding development not just artistically, but academically and socially. The paint purchased will help extend our budget to purchase other supplies for our art rooms.

This project will directly impact historically underfunded classrooms.
