My Project

Our little artists truly enjoy drawing! More recently, they've shown a great interest in drawing life-like forms. I've only a few drawing forms in our art studio that our students have to share. I see that having enough available for each student would benefit them in so many ways!

We are requesting your help with purchasing not only moldable mannequins, but also moldable hands that our students can use while defining their drawing skills.

Learning to draw is the foundation for all art. Having an opportunity to draw from a still life enhances the experience for the artist while providing a visual reference for them to work.

Our students also love to see when I'm able to draw larger examples, therefore I'm requesting a large standing easel for the class. This easel would also serve as an appropriate display space for their work when they present their own art to the class.

We appreciate your support of the arts in our public elementary schools. Our goal is to provide students with opportunities that expand their minds and open their hearts to what lies ahead of them on their educational journeys!
