With thoughtfully structured units and clearly sequenced lessons, I am now able to provide students with richer, more engaging learning experiences that build skills progressively. The curriculum has introduced a wider range of artistic techniques, mediums, and art history connections, allowing students to explore art more deeply and with greater confidence. Having access to high-quality resources has also reduced planning time, giving me more opportunities to focus on individualized instruction and meaningful feedback.\r\n\r\nMost importantly, the new curriculum has increased student enthusiasm and participation in the art room. Students are more motivated to take creative risks because lessons are clear, purposeful, and connected to real-world artists and ideas. I have seen noticeable growth in both technical skill and self-expression, especially among students who were previously hesitant or unsure of their abilities. The donated curriculum has helped foster a more inclusive, inspiring classroom environment where all students feel empowered to create, reflect, and take pride in their artistic growth.","fullyFundedDate":1661807409277,"projectUrl":"project/keeping-art-interesting/6772416/","projectTitle":"Keeping Art Interesting!","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Haskel","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp7112496_orig.jpg?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1598302263721","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/mrs-haskel"},{"teacherId":7112496,"projectId":5753184,"letterContent":"The addition of 10 Apple Pencils to my digital art class has significantly improved both student engagement and creative output. With reliable, pressure-sensitive tools available, students are able to draw, shade, and illustrate with far greater precision than with fingers or basic styluses. This has made digital art feel more like traditional drawing, helping students transfer skills they already know while gaining confidence in digital techniques. As a result, more students are willing to experiment, revise their work, and take creative risks.\r\n\r\nBeyond individual skill development, the Apple Pencils have also enhanced collaboration and classroom efficiency. Students no longer need to wait turns or share inadequate tools, allowing lessons to flow smoothly and maximizing hands-on practice time. The consistency of having dedicated Apple Pencils ensures equity, so all students have access to the same high-quality resources. Overall, these tools have elevated the learning environment, making digital art instruction more effective, inclusive, and aligned with modern creative practices.","fullyFundedDate":1638375591993,"projectUrl":"project/digital-drawing-in-the-digital-age/5753184/","projectTitle":"Digital Drawing in the Digital Age","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Haskel","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp7112496_orig.jpg?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1598302263721","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/mrs-haskel"},{"teacherId":7112496,"projectId":5889475,"letterContent":"This project helped provide some much needed specialty storage for art projects.

It entertained and sparked curiosity in everyone who got to see it. The fish tank brought so much joy and wonder. It taught many curious students about fresh water fish, crabs, frogs, and even snails and aquatic plants. It was an amazing teaching tool.
