They've been able to add finer detail and blend colors with ease. I'm so incredibly proud of the work they have done. This is just a tiny sample of the impact you have made.

They painted watercolor seascapes, created cardboard mask reliefs, and designed glow in the dark roller blades! The students were so excited about their projects that parents told me their students recreated the projects at home. \r\nWe truly could not have given this experience to these students without your donation.
