My Project

My students are creative and have a great imagination. I want to foster that creativity and imagination by giving opportunities for art time using watercolor paint, playdough and musical bells. These materials are so versatile and allow the students to be creative.

Students can show their individuality through art.

When a student is given mediums like paint, playdough and musical instruments it fosters the artistic side of them. There are endless possibilities of what they can make and do. The best part is that it is helping them to gain fine motor skills while they use these materials.
