My students were absolutely thrilled when the boxes arrived! There is a unique kind of magic in the classroom when students realize that people they have never met care enough about their education to provide them with brand-new, high-quality resources. When we first unboxed the materials, the room was filled with \"oohs\" and \"aahs,\" and several students immediately started brainstorming how they would use them for our upcoming units.\r\n\r\nCurrently, we are using these resources to bridge the gap between imagination and reality. For example, during a recent lesson, students took their initial photographs with our new Cannon camera to create their \"compositions\" and turn them into physical still life \"creations.\" Seeing them take pride in the \"display\" phase of their work has been the most rewarding part. The tools you provided have given them the confidence to show off their hard work, turning our classroom into a gallery of student achievement.","fullyFundedDate":1762529990733,"projectUrl":"project/compose-create-and-display/9828864/","projectTitle":"Compose, Create and Display","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Burks","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp3650788_orig.jpg?crop=2081,2081,x0,y346&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1722541681787","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/marshallart2016"},{"teacherId":3650788,"projectId":9696284,"letterContent":"I am writing to express my deepest gratitude for your generous contributions to our high school art class. Because of you, my students have been able to explore exciting new techniques, transforming the way we create and display our work. The ChompSaw Maker Bundle immediately allowed us to incorporate mixed media by precisely cutting and scoring cardboard, turning a simple material into complex structural or sculptural components for projects. \r\n\r\nThe students' reaction to the new materials was incredible. When the boxes arrived, there was an immediate buzz, especially around the Gel Press plates. Students who had previously struggled with traditional, messy printmaking methods were ecstatic to experiment with the easy cleanup and vibrant, spontaneous results of the monoprinting. The new Grid Wall Panels have been a game-changer, too; they allow us to display our work professionally and proudly, making the classroom feel like a real gallery space, which has boosted student pride and ownership in their art.\r\n\r\nThank you again for providing the tools that have made these advanced, real-world projects possible and for giving our students the chance to work like professional artists.","fullyFundedDate":1757616282861,"projectUrl":"project/build-create-and-display/9696284/","projectTitle":"Build, Create, and Display","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Burks","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp3650788_orig.jpg?crop=2081,2081,x0,y346&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1722541681787","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/marshallart2016"},{"teacherId":3650788,"projectId":9631647,"letterContent":"Thank you for your support! With your help, my students have been able to learn about mock-ups and how planning makes a difference in their final product. Students created smaller mock-up carvings with their soap, then created larger sculptures with clay using their soap carvings as a reference.
