Thanks to your donation, we received much-needed rulers and two gallons of black and white paint—resources that have had a direct and meaningful impact on student learning and creativity.\r\n\r\nThe rulers were immediately put to great use during our self-portrait unit. Students used them to create carefully measured grids, which helped them break down the proportions of their reference photos and more accurately draw their portraits. For many students, this method made the process feel more approachable and helped build their confidence in drawing realistic features.\r\n\r\nThe black and white paint has been essential in our art room. These are the colors we go through the fastest, as students constantly use them to mix values, create contrast, and explore shading techniques. Having a fresh supply on hand meant that every student had access to the materials they needed without the stress of running low in the middle of a project. It kept the momentum going and the focus on the creative process.\r\n\r\nYour generosity gave my students the tools to take their art to the next level, and we're incredibly grateful.

Thanks to your support, we received additional graphite pencil sets that have truly elevated our art lessons and opened up new creative possibilities for my students.\r\n\r\nThe day the new pencil sets arrived felt like a holiday in our classroom. Students were immediately drawn to the professional look and feel of the sets. Many had only ever used standard #2 pencils for drawing, so getting to explore a full range of graphite pencils was like unlocking a whole new artistic language.\r\n\r\nOne specific project that really benefited from these new tools was our identity project. Students chose a topic that reflects their identity and created an artwork. Students used different pencil grades to capture the fine details and depth in their artwork. It was incredible to watch them thoughtfully choose the right pencil for the job—using softer graphite for shadows and harder pencils for fine lines. The results were stunning, and the students were proud of how much their work had improved.\r\n\r\nHaving more sets also meant students could work independently without having to wait or share materials, which kept the momentum and focus high.\r\n\r\nThank you again for believing in our classroom and in the potential of young artists. Your support goes far beyond supplies—it's helping students build skills, express themselves, and feel proud of what they can create.","fullyFundedDate":1758915408542,"projectUrl":"project/graphite-greatness-giving-students-tool/9752644/","projectTitle":"Graphite Greatness: Giving Students Tools to Shine","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Newsom","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp9013021_orig.jpg?crop=810,810,x99,y34&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1682015488023","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/j-newsom"},{"teacherId":9013021,"projectId":9618881,"letterContent":"Thanks to your generous donation, my students have already begun using the Prismacolor pencils in ways that are transforming both their artwork and their confidence.

Before the Prismacolors arrived, many students struggled to capture smooth gradients or realistic textures—but now, with these professional-quality pencils, they are layering colors, blending shadows, and adding fine details they couldn't achieve before.\r\n\r\nAs we move forward, students will use these Prismacolors to complete their final surrealist compositions and create artworks for their IB DP Visual Arts exhibition. Students have studied color theory, texture, and depth—skills that these pencils will elevate tremendously.

Now that each student has a dedicated pouch, we've been able to keep materials organized and accessible, which has streamlined class time and minimized distractions.\r\n\r\nStudents began to build on these skills by creating a propaganda artwork inspired by an endangered animal.
