This project was called Abstract Quotes. Along with implementing the colored pencil techniques, students chose 2-5 inspirational quotes that resonated with them. I am very pleased with the outcome of most of the student projects.\r\n\r\nBecause the Prismacolor pencils produce a smoother, more intense saturation of color, my students were really excited when they first started using them. They noticed the difference in hue intensity when compared to the regular Crayola colored pencils we normally use to practice with and for minor assignments. They are really excited to use them for future projects, like portraits, landscapes, etc., that show the beautiful diversity of our world.","fullyFundedDate":1743517251476,"projectUrl":"project/creative-expression-celebrating-diversit/9203727/","projectTitle":"Creative Expression Celebrating Diversity","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Torres","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp7391525_orig.jpg?crop=960,960,x0,y176&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1598376996932","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/7391525"},{"teacherId":7392951,"projectId":8645396,"letterContent":"Thank you for your generous support, which has significantly impacted our honors society and student organizations.
