The new decorative elements have transformed our studio into a more professional and welcoming creative space, subtly influencing the students' approach to their work. We are using the stickers as achievement markers and rewards for demonstrating mastery of a difficult technique, exceptional conceptual development, or outstanding critique participation. For example, during our current conceptual art unit, students who offered the most insightful peer critiques or successfully articulated a complex artistic statement were recognized with these new, high-quality stickers. This has significantly motivated them to engage more deeply with the critical and intellectual aspects of art-making.\r\n\r\nWhen the students first saw the materials, their reaction was one of immediate interest and appreciation for the aesthetic upgrade. They recognized the value in turning our studio into a space that feels more conducive to serious creative work, and they particularly appreciated the quality of the stickers as a unique form of recognition. Our donors helped provide this peek into the artistic process, and we are excited to share what is next!","fullyFundedDate":1754233671072,"projectUrl":"project/comfortable-classroom/9521049/","projectTitle":"Comfortable Classroom","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Suarez","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-5_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9878568"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_129168","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":194,"numTeachers":null,"percentFrplEligible":79,"percentAsian":0,"percentBlack":3,"percentWhite":2,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":91,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"6 - 7","studentTeacherRatio":null,"demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"SUBURBAN","ncesMetroType":"RURAL_FRINGE"},"inStateSupporters":75.0,"schoolId":129168,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Idea College Preparatory - Horizon Vista on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Idea College Preparatory - Horizon Vista","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/texas/texas-department-of-education/idea-college-preparatory-horizon-vista/129168"}
