With your support, students have completed Tim Burton–style self-portraits using bold lines and expressive contrast, painted Halloween ghosts while learning how to mix tints and shades, and created polar bear scenes set against watercolor northern lights. These projects have given all students, especially my English learner and students on the autism spectrum, meaningful ways to express ideas and emotions through art.\r\n\r\nBecause of you, my students are creating with confidence and joy every day.
