My Students

We seriously have some of the best students in our small-town elementary school. The students are always eager to learn new art techniques and test out their skills with new and engaging materials.

Our students are always ready for new challenges.

Some of the challenges will need to be adapted to the alternative way of delivering art lessons in their classrooms.

I want to grow as an artists with them! Our school includes over 60% free or reduced-price lunch recipients, but together our community, parents, and staff work to get us everything we need. I am so grateful to have wonderful people like you also partnering with us to help get our students everything they so deserve.

Although this year may look a little different whether in person, online, or a mix of both, I know we'll build our classroom community and become the family we always are. I am a first-year teacher in the Visual Arts department and am looking for new materials the students can use with ease in their homerooms. Students have limited space and access to materials as many classrooms are not set up for creating art soley.

My Project

I would like to create a space in my art room for my students to join me for my lesson introductions. This rug not only provides a necessary space for the group but it also has the same motif as a famous painter, Kandinsky! This rug will be a creative driving board as you will. It is also nice because it allows the children to visually see where their body should be and where it should stay. My room is currently very dull. It has very little color and lot of room for potential so this rug will be a hit!
