My Project

These items will give me the opportunity to offer multiple projects to my students. The variety will make art more interesting to them. I want them to have the freedom to create art.

The paper cutter will help me be able to save on supply costs.

I can purchase paper in larger sizes and cut them down. That in turn allows me to better spend my educational budget.

The soft pastels will make creating springtime projects so much fun. This supply is something my students have not been able to explore yet. Paper is always needed to create a lot of art. The 80lb paper is great because it can be used with multiple mediums. The sharpie markers are items we use often to help our work stand out.
