When my students first saw the new glazes, their excitement was undeniable. They were amazed by the beautiful colors and could hardly wait to experiment with layering, blending, and discovering how the glazes transform after firing. For many students, this is their first experience seeing their artwork come out of the kiln glossy, vibrant, and truly professional-looking, an unforgettable moment of pride.\r\n\r\nThese glazes have elevated our ceramics program in powerful ways. Students are now learning about color theory, finishing techniques, and the science behind how glaze reacts to heat. They are thoughtfully choosing colors with purpose, discussing symbolism, mood, and personal expression while carefully applying their glaze coats. One of the most meaningful parts of this project is watching students realize that their work looks like something they might see in a gallery or museum, helping them see themselves as real artists.\r\n\r\nNext, students will continue glazing their flower bowls and exploring creative design choices to bring their artwork to life. Because of your generosity, they are gaining confidence, creativity, and a deeper understanding of the entire ceramic process, from clay to the kiln to the finished masterpiece. Thank you for helping their creativity shine as brightly as the glazes themselves!","fullyFundedDate":1758202610945,"projectUrl":"project/blooming-creativity-ceramic-flower-bowl/9573403/","projectTitle":"Blooming Creativity: Ceramic Flower Bowls for Young Artists","teacherDisplayName":"Mr. Kuwantu","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp7439658_orig.png?crop=1024,1024,x0,y81&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1759703494763","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/7439658"},{"teacherId":7439658,"projectId":9573245,"letterContent":"Thank you so much for supporting \"Sharpie Sparks: Bold Lines, Bright Minds\"! The moment my students saw the brand-new Sharpie markers, their faces absolutely lit up with excitement. These weren't just markers to them; they were powerful tools for creativity, confidence, and bold expression. Students immediately began brainstorming ideas and couldn't wait to dive into projects where strong lines and permanent mark-making truly mattered.\r\n\r\nWe are already using these Sharpies in meaningful ways. Students are creating vibrant posters, labeling design projects, outlining artwork, and building visual stories where their ideas stand out boldly and clearly. One of our favorite moments so far has been watching even our most hesitant artists proudly commit to their work with confidence because \"Sharpies are serious art tools,\" as one student said. These markers help students slow down, think, design, and take ownership of their work, because every line matters.\r\n\r\nThanks to your generosity, our classroom now has durable, reliable tools that will continue to inspire creativity, build artistic skills, and encourage students to think intentionally. Next, we'll be exploring design challenges, lettering projects, and creative expression activities that invite students to share their voices in bright, powerful ways.
