My Project

These workbooks and art supplies will help my students reinforce their literacy skills, and explore creative problem-solving in my art room. This workbook sets up writing scaffolds with prompts to take notes, sketch, critique, and plan in writing to hone our literacy skills. For example, every Monday, we reflect on famous quotes about art. Students read the famous quote, interpret the ideas presented, and write about how it can apply to their own art practice. These books keep us organized, on-task, and document our progress. The printing toner is something our schools are no longer able to provide for free, so it comes out of my limited budget, which limits my ability to get the other basic supplies.

Your donation will provide my high school students with printing toner we can't afford and a literacy-based workbook to build a portfolio, write about their ideas, experiences, and to express their lives through art.

This workbook includes tons of supplemental information for my special needs students so everyone can get an in-depth experience.

Art teachers know, when we grid, measure, and draw—we use geometry. When we make sculptures—we use engineering. When we mix colors—we reveal information about physics. When we create illustrations for stories—we learn about literature. When we review the styles of art from da Vinci to Banksy—we teach history. When we teach ceramics—we teach chemistry. When we write about art—we strengthen our writing skills. When we create works of art, we solve complex visual problems in creative ways. Art is the meeting place of all subjects. My students and I thank you for your consideration and support.
