We are using these tools to create relief and etched prints where students design an image, carefully carve it into a printing surface, ink it, and transfer the image onto paper. One memorable moment happened when a student pulled their very first successful print and realized that the lines they had carved by hand could be repeated again and again. Watching them understand how artists use process, patience, and craftsmanship to create multiples was incredibly rewarding.\r\n\r\nWhen the students first saw the new etching tools, their reactions were a mix of curiosity and excitement. Many of them had never seen professional printmaking tools before, and they were eager to learn how real artists create prints. The moment we opened the materials, students immediately began discussing ideas for images they wanted to carve—everything from stylized animals and fantasy symbols to graphic designs inspired by comics and games. Their excitement made it clear that having authentic tools instantly made the experience feel more meaningful and professional.\r\n\r\nAs we move forward, students will continue refining their carving techniques while experimenting with different types of lines, textures, and compositions in their prints. Our next steps include layering colors, exploring more complex designs, and learning how artists edition their prints. Ultimately, students will build a small print portfolio that shows their growth in craftsmanship and creative thinking. Because of your generosity, my students are experiencing a hands-on art process that many had never encountered before, and they are gaining confidence as artists while learning about an important historical art form.\r\n\r\nThank you for making this opportunity possible for our classroom. Your support has truly made an impact.","fullyFundedDate":1742758440743,"projectUrl":"project/etching-for-something-new/9184994/","projectTitle":"Etching for Something New","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Allen","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp4880313_orig.jpg?crop=428,428,x23,y82&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1636665414598","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/mrs-jennifer-allen"},{"teacherId":10194404,"projectId":9629944,"letterContent":"Thank you so much for your support in my classroom.

Since the addition of the 3D printer into the classroom, my students have been self driven to learn 3D modeling and have created some funny and some interesting sculptures. I've had students make masks, figures, and tools to use in the art room. One of their favorite things to do is to simply watch in amazement as the printer lays down the filament and thier creations come to life. One student in particular, learned how to create a mask from a character he originally created and spent the time to learn how to make it completely wearable. He was so thrilled to have something tangible in his hands that he created. This student would be classified as a high risk student and now he's more motivated to come to class thanks to the classroom addition.","fullyFundedDate":1606832484347,"projectUrl":"project/full-steam-ahead/5282419/","projectTitle":"Full STEAM Ahead","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Allen","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp4880313_orig.jpg?crop=428,428,x23,y82&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1636665414598","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/mrs-jennifer-allen"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_51701","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":155,"numTeachers":18,"percentFrplEligible":74,"percentAsian":0,"percentBlack":10,"percentWhite":85,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":2,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"7 - 12","studentTeacherRatio":"8.6:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"RURAL","ncesMetroType":"RURAL_DISTANT"},"inStateSupporters":57.1,"schoolId":51701,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Guy Perkins High School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Guy Perkins High School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/arkansas/guy-perkins-schools/guy-perkins-school/51701"}
