My Project

I love how curious and creative my students are. They’re eager to express themselves and collaborate with each other, especially through hands-on projects. These art supplies will give them the tools to design expressive masks and bring their ideas to life through storytelling. Each item—from the paints and brushes to the markers and decorations—will help them explore identity, creativity, and teamwork in a fun and meaningful way. This project will also build their confidence and strengthen their communication skills as they share their work with the school community. Sometimes students can be just a little more expressive behind a mask, which can be a great jumpstart for their social expression.
