Painting Their Art Out

Help me give my students the high-end, specialty paint markers they’ve been begging for.

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. DJ's classroom raised $337

This project is fully funded

My Project

My students love to paint, paint, and paint. They have been craving materials that will take their art to the next level. Posca paint markers will allow them the flexibility to learn and create with a more controlled tool.

Art allows my students to be creative and feel free to explore a variety of techniques or use new supplies.

They love art because it's a subject in which all students can feel successful without being concerned about scores or being right or wrong. Posca markers are so costly, but are also the best way to let them express themselves using a fun, new medium.
