Transcendental Art Project

Help me give my students the supplies needed to create a Transcendentalist art project. For example, art prints and a fridge to keep us cool, we can make something beautiful.

My Project

In high school, there is often a lack of creative projects in core classes. COVID has created children who are more anxious, frustrated, and overwhelmed in school. Taking the time to translate our feelings and content into art can be a great outlet to process the strange world we are in. With large classes, sometimes it's hard to supply all the needs for 140 students. This solves that problem.

In asking students what could make our classroom better, students suggested that a fridge to keep their water cool would be great.

Here in Arizona, we get hot. And if something little like cold water helps, then I'm willing to do it. An occasional treat always makes them smile too.
