The Creative Space

Help me give my students the best school year with the supplies that are needed for Art class. Students love having materials that meets their criteria and enjoy having their own.

My Project

This will be my second year teaching Art & I can honestly say, I’ve discovered some young, intelligent artists. My goal is to continue develop young scholars, supply the scholars with the materials that are needed for class & let them know that each project and drawing will have a meaning behind it.

Last school year, I’ve experienced a lot of scholars were “ready for art”.However, I also experienced numeral of students will getting overwhelmed with the project & drawing but my encouragement towards the scholars gave them a lot of hope.
