My 5th grade students loved making the clay fish. It was their favorite project of the year. All of my students appreciated the new glaze brushes. We didn't have to worry about getting dried acrylic paint flakes on our ceramic wears. \r\n\r\nThese new paint brushes motivated my high school students choice projects. One of my high school students used the new paintbrushes to create wooden floors for her shadow box. \r\n\r\nMy students were able to used the kneaded erasers to create highlights on their pumpkin drawings. These highlights made their drawing look three-dimension. \r\n\r\nThank you for giving my students the ability to express themselves, and enhance their art experience.","fullyFundedDate":1742918324249,"projectUrl":"project/paint-brushes-clay/9109587/","projectTitle":"Paint Brushes & Clay","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Battaglia","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-10_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/5007558"},{"teacherId":5265420,"projectId":9255990,"letterContent":"Thank you so much for your generous donation to our uniform bag project.
