Support Creativity: Donate Gelli Plates for Art Education

Help me give my students gelli plates to create unique and textured art prints, enhancing their creativity and artistic skills.

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Tedford's classroom raised $641

This project is fully funded

My Project

The gelli plates will allow students to explore printmaking techniques, encouraging hands-on creativity and helping them understand the concepts of texture, layering, and color blending in a unique way. I want to provide my students multiple opportunities to expand their artistic skills.

My goals for this project are to introduce students to new artistic mediums, foster their creative expression, and provide them with the tools to experiment and develop their own artistic abilities.

My students are incredibly diverse and talented, each bringing their own unique perspectives and creativity to the classroom. Their enthusiasm for learning and passion for art make every project a new and exciting adventure. My students enjoy art and look forward to it every week. I would love to be able to add a new art style to their knowledge.
