These Artful Dreams Can Come True!

Help me give my students some quality art supplies for my Creative Exploration class. Many supplies are quite costly and are an ongoing expense. They really enjoy Model Magic and painting their creations!

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Gates's classroom raised $574

This project is fully funded

My Project

Basically, my Creative Exploration class cannot exist without the necessary supplies. They go through many art supplies, most of which cannot be reused or recycled. Since it is primarily the student's choice as to what they want to create, there are various mixed media needed for their extremely versatile ideas. They like to sculpt, paint, draw, do beadwork, paper mache and the list goes on!

My goal for this class is to have basic supplies such as white drawing paper, paints, model clay, glue and brushes to help support their creative vision.

My students come from diverse backgrounds and while eager to learn, they don't necessarily have the resources to provide any of their own supplies. Their enthusiastic spirit is willing, and their energy is inspiring!

Thank you for any consideration. Any donations will truly be appreciated and definitely put to good use.

Ms. Gates Tulsa School of Arts and Sciences Grades 9-12
