Students have been so excited to come in and try new art mediums. When I told them we would be painting with water colors, they asked everyday, \"Are we painting today?\" or \"Is it painting day yet?\". When the day arrived they were thrilled to walk in and see plastic covering the floors. The joy they had sitting close to their friends was could be felt in the room. We recreated Van Gogh's Irises using the chalk pastels and then took them outside to spray them. They had so much fun blending with their fingers and really getting into their piece. Now, I get questions everyday about using the clay. We will be sculpting when we move into contemporary and modern art. \r\nFor seventh and eighth graders, studying art and people cultures might seem boring without the hands-on activities to accompany the lessons. These opportunities to create something with their own hands and knowing many of these methods were used by the great artists they learn about has impacted the depth of knowledge in our classroom. Applying the elements of art to their own work has helped to solidify some of the lessons students learn in our room. We are able to do more and much greater things because of the generosity of all the donors.","fullyFundedDate":1757445063439,"projectUrl":"project/art-humanities-immersion/9471957/","projectTitle":"Art Humanities Immersion","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Sirmon","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp10082320_orig.jpg?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1752938524345","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/10082320"},{"teacherId":9966614,"projectId":9410191,"letterContent":"These books that our classroom received and the art easels have made the art room a better resource for the students as they now have books about the artists and artwork that they study and are able to research the history behind each of them. This helps them be able to have hands on information that even our school library does not have. When they first saw all the books coming in they were excited and when I read from some of them when we were talking about a artist that we were studying they were so excited that there was extra information that they could look at. With these resources they will be able to do more in depth research about artists and artwork this year on their year end reports.

They loved being able to use cement and to make things with their hands. The excitement that they had to be able to do something like this and show it on Parent/Teacher night was amazing to see. The excitement to show their parents what they had made was unimaginable. The students learned so much from how to take care of the product, to that the humidity could cause issues with the cement to the fact that some were made to complex designs that it just did not work. This was an amazing project and taught so many different things.

All of this would not be possible without you! \r\n\r\n Throughout the year we will be using the donated supplies. My students will continue to complete creative assignments to show their understanding of the concepts taught in class. I have a large bulletin board in my classroom where these will be displayed.

They were so excited that there was a new way to keep all their art supplies organized.\r\n\r\nThe storage cabinets and bins are just what we needed to help organize our art class supplies. Each student has their own bin with supplies and sketch book in it and it keeps everything from getting all mixed up. The bins are divided by hour by color, so first hour has yellow, third hour has green, fourth hour has red and seventh hour has purple and eighth hour has blue. It helps each class to know which bin is theirs and they put them back in a certain area so nobody bothers anyone's bin. \r\n\r\nWe will be able to make art and stay organized all year long. This is been one amazing donor's choose project that our school all loves.
