My Project
My elementary students are passionate about art and absolutely love learning through creating. Even without a dedicated art room, their enthusiasm shines every time the art cart rolls into their classroom. With the right supplies, we can keep that creative spark alive and thriving. With art on a cart, these materials make it possible to bring them hands-on, inspiring projects.
These materials will turn any space into an art studio.
Air-dry clay will allow students to explore sculpture and 3D form without the need for a kiln. Paint sticks and paint markers offer vibrant, mess-free ways for students to express themselves—perfect for a mobile art setup.
LEGOs will be used in innovative ways to teach architecture and printmaking, encouraging hands-on exploration of design and structure. Fuse beads provide a fun, tactile way to learn about pixels, space, and digital art concepts—all while reinforcing creativity and fine motor skills.
Your support will help bring rich, engaging art experiences to every student, no matter where they are in the school. With your help, we can make every hallway, classroom, and corner a place where art comes to life.
More than half of students from low‑income households
