First they offer self regulated instructional time for early finishers. They can go to the book bin and select one of many books that interest them and learn how to draw those things. When it is related to something popular or in their interest group they are more engaged and receptive to learning. Practice drawing is crucial to developing the skills to become a better artist. Secondly, these books offer help on many art projects. If we are drawing sea life. They can find a book for ideas or to learn how to draw it step by step. It creates independent drawers. We have books ranging from animal, super heros, anime, and hair styles for all cultures. These books help give students from grade 1 to 5 resources to draw more accurately. Thank you for sharing my vision of independent drawers. My kids love them.","fullyFundedDate":1756174309704,"projectUrl":"project/art-library/9531487/","projectTitle":"Art Library","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Marsicano","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-7_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/8532573"},{"teacherId":3717386,"projectId":9604725,"letterContent":"Thank you for your generous donation oward sensory spinning seats for my students!

This is great for perfectionist who can't stand erase marks and goe those who just can't get it right on the first or second try. The pens give an accuracy that finger tips can't. It also creates a new excitement for something new in art.\r\n Students have started to experiment with the pens in Autodesk Sketchbook.
