My Project

The printmaking supplies that I have inherited from my predecessors, are meant for much older students than Elementary or primary school age kiddos. Many of the tools are rusted, sharp and are not well suited for little artists.

This donation would replace these outdated dangerous tools like, chisels with sharp edges, with more age-friendly materials made of foam or rubber for my students to experience the basic skills of printmaking.

This donation wouldn't make it possible for my adapted students in life skills and autistic support , along with students in early Elementary to experience print making skills to create meaningful artwork a safe manner. Ultimately bringing giant smiles to many little artist faces, and grateful for sparing us tears with our current outdated tools.

Thank you for your generosity and kindness of donating to my classroom and students!
