My Project

My students love the art center and I love watching them create in the art center. With these supplies, I envision students making life size versions of themselves and their friends. I also envision them making collages, increasing their fine motor strength and growing their brains and hearts.

These materials will keep our art area a desirable place to visit and create during center time.

I am requesting skin tone paper, markers, crayons, and paint to help them create collage portraits of themselves and their friends. I am also requesting modeling clay, which will increase their fine motor strength and get them ready for writing.

I am also requesting velour paper, which is a specialty paper to use with our oil pastels. Students will use the pastels we already have to make self-portraits for their monthly self-portrait pictures. They will also use the skin tone materials for this as well.

Thank you for considering our project to keep the creative arts flowing in my classroom.

Ms. Liss
Grades PreK-2
