My Students

My art students are curious, creative and resilient. They are eager to learn and experiment when it comes to their art education. They are held back only by their lack of resources and limited experiences outside their own community. They possess a need and aptitude for the arts, I believe as a way to process and work through some of their struggles. Our school serves a population of around 506 with about 71.3% of students receiving a free or discounted lunch.

During this time, when they need the arts and personal expression the most, my students have expressed they lack the materials at home to continue producing art.

My Project

All of my students need to be able to express themselves and continue their art assignments during our time apart. These materials would give each student a journal and the basic art medium to do the assigned work and express their thoughts and feelings, this would give equal access and ensure that each of them can continue their art education during our Shelter in Place.

By funding this project, you will help bring color into these dark times, and help these students access the expression component of our distance learning curriculum.
