My students need experience working with their hands to build 3-D sculptures, so modelling clay and tools would be a great addition to our classroom.
FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Bahari's classroom raised $585

My Students
I am the school art teacher at a small, neighborhood school in Virginia. We have a diverse group of learners that are all eager to learn more and explore different possibilities with art. The students come from high-poverty, urban homes. Many of their families struggle financially, so often the students are burdened with problems beyond their years. It is my hope to provide the students a safe place where they are able to not only learn and develop their creativity but also provide a sometimes much-needed escape from the day-to-day.
My Project
Just as students have different ways of learning in the traditional classroom, be it visual, auditorial, kinesthetic, or verbal; students in the art room have different strengths as well. It is my belief that exposure to a wide variety of art mediums is essential to tapping into the creativity of each and every one of my students.
With the child's needs in mind, I believe gaining supplies for the students to work with 3D mediums is essential to their growth as artists and individuals.
I am requesting modeling clay in a variety of colors as well as some commonly used clay tools. Modeling clay is very easy for the students to work with, you can achieve great detail, and it does well with not drying out before the project is finished.Sometimes we just need to build and shape with our hands to unlock our creative potential.
Nearly all students from low‑income households
