My Project

One of the most used and loved art supplies in my grades 3-5 art room are Sharpies! My students love the bold, smooth lines they create when they outline their work. Sharpies also help students master fine motor control and drawing skills as they design buildings, create characters, and make patterns. We also use Sharpies in other colors to add detail to our metal embossing and to "dye" fabric for sewing projects. We have used our Sharpies so much already this year that our markers are getting very parched and dry. Sometimes we spend several minutes of our precious art time testing our Sharpies to see which ones still have enough "juice."

My students need black and multi-colored Sharpies so we can keep creating bright, bold, beautiful art.

Sharpies, when they are well loved, run out of ink quickly when they are used by 600 students on the daily. We are eager to replenish our Sharpie supply for more exciting projects we have coming up later this year. Thank you for helping us stay sharp!
