My Project

My fabulous art students come from all over the city of Chicago to attend our school. Some take buses that make their commute over an hour and a half. These amazing students come to class eager to learn, and enthusiastic about art and all it has to offer.

These young artists are thoughtful and make connections to tell their stories through their art.

They would thrive with quality, colored art pencils. Prismacolor Premier Colored Pencils feature thick, soft cores made from brilliant, light-resistant pigments to ensure smooth, rich laydown and color saturation. The pencils will make the difference between a great project and a magnificent project!
