My Project

When we did our linoleum carving unit, we quickly realized that some cut proof gloves were necessary for the next time. We went through way too many Bandaids. And, since being proactive is one of our highest standards - the gloves are a must have to prevent tons of little nicks and slices as we learn how to use the tools.

With 400 or so students coming through my art room, we need lots of room to let our masterpieces dry.

This rack with wheels will make it so that I can whisk it wherever we need it, or out of the way, as necessary.

The rest of the project contains supplies to refresh and restock the art room for next school year; readying the room for more brilliance.
