We truly could not have the club we have without your generous donation of knitting needles. The club students are thrilled when they first saw all the supplies available to them. Most club members have never held knitting needles in their life, and now they can't put them down! For students who return to club each week they have taken their needles home to practice each week, returning each week eager to show how much progress they've made. They have been so proud of themselves- trying out new stiches and fixing little mistakes. It has been so wonderful to watch them as they encourage each other, learn and create.

Now, with the new printer right in our classroom, they can print both color and black-and-white versions of reference materials to study value, color relationships, and composition side by side.\r\n\r\nYou can see in the photos how students printed reference images for their Abstract Drawing Inspired by Cells project. They began by analyzing their printed research in grayscale to focus on form and structure, and in color to explore mood and contrast. From there, they created thumbnail sketches, experimented with layering and blending techniques, and developed their final pieces using colored pencil. The results were stunning - vibrant, imaginative abstractions that reflected both scientific inspiration and personal expression.\r\n\r\nHaving immediate access to visual resources in color has not only improved the quality of student work but also deepened their engagement and independence. Students are now more confident when discussing artistic choices and better equipped to translate their ideas from screen to paper.\r\n\r\nThis printer has truly brought color to creativity in our art room.
