Transforming Notebooks Into Art Journals

Help me give my students supplies to artistically transform their writing notebooks into altered books of art!

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Joanna Traver's classroom raised $188

My Project

A big part of creative and personal narrative writing is tapping into all kinds of creative and artistic pursuits, both as inspiration and as form. My middle schoolers have been journal writing each class period this year, and we would like some basic supplies to artistically transform our writing notebooks into altered books of art! Collage papers, colored pencils and markers, and adhesives of all kinds will allow us to make beautiful works of art in class. As students wrap up middle school, these notebooks can become treasured keepsakes of this unique time of growth and change.
