Painting To Perfection

My students need an easel and paint cups.

  • $180 goal

Hooray! This project is fully funded

Hooray! This project is fully funded

I teach kindergarten to eighteen wonderful five and six year olds who have limited experience in the arts outside the classroom. My elementary school is a school that values arts integration across the curriculum.

The children in my classroom love to paint at the easel but ours just broke and is no longer safe to use. Can you help us enjoy the arts and be safe?

We need a durable easel as well as paint cups to store the paint in at the easel that offers children chances to be artists. This project can help meet the artistic needs of the children in my classroom by allowing them opportunities to be creative and refine their work over time.

With your help, we can have an easel in our classroom that is safe to use while offering my students creative opportunities they might not otherwise have! You can help the children in my classroom understand that art is important, their needs are important, and that they are important!
