My Project
My preschool students love to make and create their own works of art! Our painting and art center needs a major refresh. Not only do we need staple items such as paint, crayons, and markers, but we also need some new materials to keep it interesting.
My students have unlimited imaginations!
New art materials such as colored tapes, peel-and-stick shapes, precut shapes, and tissue papers present a much-needed creative challenge for them. Not only does creating their own masterpiece using these materials and items like watercolors develop their creativity, but it also develops fine motor skills used in writing.
Nearly all students from low‑income households
