Help me give my students the ability to continue our artist studies. We lost our Edward Hopper paintings and would like to re-create them, as well as, paint in the style of Georgia O'Keeffe and Kandinsky.
We love our students and we are amazed by their resiliency. Their ability to overcome adversity at the young age of 5, is unbelievable.
Due to Hurricane Michael, they’ve lost their homes, their school, their sense of normalcy, and many of their friends have moved away.
Our students have also had to adjust to sharing a classroom with another group of kindergarteners. Given the many challenges they’ve faced over the course of the last three months, they have shown up every day with smiles on their faces, eager to learn!
My Project
We lost most of our art supplies and technology in Hurricane Michael! We want to continue our high standard of incorporating art and technology into our Kindergarten curriculum by studying an artist each nine weeks. Artists include: Edward Hopper, Georgia O'Keeffe, Wassily Kandinsky, and Claude Monet. YES! Five year olds can paint in the style of each of these artists!
Art supplies, such as canvases, will provide our students to create real art that will be displayed throughout our classroom.
Students will then be able to take their artwork home.
Additionally, our technology was severely damaged. We lost all of our technology station that housed our ipad minis. Replacing these will allow our students to explore various language, math and art apps during independent learning time.
