There Is No Must in Art Because Art Is Free(W.K.)

My students need easels and canvases to create their own masterpieces!

FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Alamir's classroom raised $701

This project is fully funded

My Students

Every child is an artist. -Pablo Picasso.

The love of art in my classroom grows more and more every day.

I love seeing how and where their imagination can take them. They work hard all year for their masterpieces to be displayed in our art show. I am so lucky to teach each one of them, and they surprise me with how far they can go. I love how they change their ideas about being in art class and trying and doing the best they can, even the one who says, "I can't do art," but after being in my classroom is now loving it.

My Project

My students will be able to paint on canvas and maybe sometimes draw on paper using their own easels and this will make them feel like artists because they all are and they deserve to have the right materials in my class. We only have one big easel in good condition. Sometimes they share working on it, so I don't want to see my students with their heads down working hard while painting any longer. This is going to help so much and make a big difference in my classroom. For more masterpieces to be created we will need these canvases and easels!
