The light boards and optical tracing tools have been a wonderful addition to our supplies, and our students are already putting them to good use!\r\n\r\nOur students recently put the light boards to use during a neurographic art self-portrait project. Using these tools, students were able to carefully trace the outlines and details of their portraits before incorporating them into colorful compositions filled with flowing lines, patterns, and personal expression. The light boards served as an assistive drawing tool, helping students of all artistic abilities experience success while allowing them to focus on the creative elements of their artwork.\r\n\r\nIt has been wonderful to see students so engaged in the process and proud of their finished pieces! These tools have made drawing more accessible, encouraged independence, and opened up new possibilities for artistic exploration in our classroom.\r\n\r\nWe are incredibly grateful for your generosity and commitment to supporting arts education. Your donation is already making a meaningful difference in our students' learning experiences, and these supplies will continue to benefit many middle school artists for years to come.\r\n\r\nThank you again for helping our students build confidence, express themselves, and discover what they can create!","fullyFundedDate":1786542222934,"projectUrl":"project/learning-to-draw-with-confidence/10339033/","projectTitle":"Learning to Draw With Confidence","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Owens","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp9810753_orig.jpg?crop=2316,2316,x0,y239&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1760448146735","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9810753"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_61980","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":716,"numTeachers":60,"percentFrplEligible":24,"percentAsian":10,"percentBlack":12,"percentWhite":61,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":8,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","percentHawaiianImputed":0,"percentMultiracialImputed":7,"gradesServed":"6 - 8","studentTeacherRatio":"11.9:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":false,"titleOne":false,"metroType":"SUBURBAN","ncesMetroType":"SUBURB_LARGE"},"inStateSupporters":89.7,"schoolId":61980,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about William Galvin Middle School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"William Galvin Middle School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/massachusetts/canton-public-schools/william-galvin-middle-school/61980"}
