Watercolor Art Experience!

Help me give my students art supplies for using wet mediums. Students projects are more successful when we are able to use the correct materials. We also would love to make our front entry beautiful w/ new frames.

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Olson's classroom raised $630

Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

Celebrate Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

This project is a part of the Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month celebration because it supports a Latino teacher or a school where the majority of students are Latino.

My Project

My students love to use a variety of mediums in art, as I love to expose them to a variety of art processes to hopefully help them find something they love to do and are good at. I would like to allow my students to use watercolor paper so their paints could mix like they are supposed to, and be able to create beautiful works of art. Using China pencils and sharpies will also give students opportunities for different techniques that we can experiment with. When their works of art are completed, we would love to hang some of their art professionally in picture frames in our front entry for every student, their families and guests to our school can see what amazing artist we have in our school!
