My Project

My high school art students are so creative and so talented! They love to explore any medium or project idea that I present to them, and they are often very clever to come up with their own ideas as well.

My students would love the opportunity to expand their art portfolios to include watercolor!

For this project, everything that I am requesting revolves around watercolors. I am requesting watercolor paints, as well as brushes and paper made specifically for this medium. This will be new for my students, but because of their brilliant artistic talents and desire to create, I am confident that my students are going to love and excel with watercolor! Please help me make this possible for my students!
