My Project

My students love a good art project. When I say, "grab your watercolors," cheers arise. Sadly, most of my students have cheap poor-quality paints. Today a student painted and painted and there was hardly any color on their paper. It was a big disappointment.

I could really use a class set of high-quality watercolor paints for my classroom.

These sets have sixteen colors offering budding artists more color options than most school sets. Prang is a brand trusted by teachers and I know these will have bright vivid colors. I'll be able to use these sets for many years inspiring hundreds of students. Thank you for considering a donation to my project.
