My Project

My students receive their art class via "art on a cart" which means I push a cart full of art materials into their classrooms. In order to make this class most effective I have discovered which materials my students gravitate toward and which ones are easiest for me to bring around the school. This shopping list, which includes color paper, markers, and paint would ensure a year full of painting for all students ages TK-5th grade at my Title 1 school.

Having effective materials that are easy to manage, but fun for kids is essential for encouraging their creativity while keeping their homeroom classrooms a clean and effective learning space.

Unfortunately these products are costly to stock every year, but with your help we can ensure a year full of creativity, a variety of art materials and a school full of happy kids!
