My Project

Hello Amazing Donors!

I am hoping that some amazing people could help me supply my art students will some essential supplies.

My students are in need of thick acrylic painting paper, skin tone paints, and oil pastel crayons. We need these supplies in order to create their own self portraits. The paper is essential due to that it will not rip and tear as the students paint and draw. The paint is an amazing way for students to be able to paint their portrait their correct skin tone. Lastly, the oil pastel crayons will allow them to add details to their artwork. I hope that you can give my students access to these supplies so that they can create some amazing art.

Ms. Olson will only receive her materials if this project is fully funded by August 1.
