Students have been so excited to be able to use these new trays. We just finished a lovely canvas art project and as you can see in the photos, these plastic trays are wonderful for resting wet paintings on the new drying racks. I have created a very organized system for paint projects. Students line up at the art store and place all their painting supplies onto one of the plastic trays. Supplies include a cup of water with brushes, a palette, a small sponge in a plastic bowl, and their canvas. For many projects before having these trays, students needed to carry all of these supplies by hand- and paint spills occurred. Now supplies are easy to grab.\r\nAlso, the end of class clean-up has been made more efficient. Student keep their trays at their table. When instructed they take back all their table supplies on their tray. Then come back with their canvas on the tray to store on the drying racks.\r\nBecause of these new materials, students will need less time to prepare for painting and to clean up at the end of class. This in turn results in lots of gained Studio Time for them to paint and create. Our next project will involve use of the Cricut machine. I am looking forward to cutting designs for the student's shape artwork.","fullyFundedDate":1768252092567,"projectUrl":"project/lets-dry-those-canvases-and-cut-that-pa/10003633/","projectTitle":"Let's Dry Those Canvases and Cut That Paper!","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Ramsey","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp8036725_orig.jpg?crop=480,480,x0,y80&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1630950395934","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/mrs-andrea-ramsey"},{"teacherId":7075802,"projectId":7995510,"letterContent":"Thank you so much for your incredibly generous donation of books to our classroom.
