We have done multiple projects with the materials your funds contributed to, and are excited to make many more. They've used highlighters to create dancing skeletons inspired by Keith Haring. The oil pastels have been used to create Alebrijas inspired by Mexican folk art and faux neon signs. The students have also enjoyed seeing the difference the lighting can change the look of their projects. The black lights will be nice to display their projects in the hallway cases.\r\n\r\nNone of these projects would have been possible without your contribution. Your support is much appreciated by all of my students as well as myself. We can not wait to dive into more projects with our new materials.","fullyFundedDate":1750773739031,"projectUrl":"project/middle-school-art-black-light-art/9220787/","projectTitle":"Middle School Art: Black Light Art","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Harris","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp9434298_orig.jpg?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1705293168510","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9434298"},{"teacherId":9434298,"projectId":9473136,"letterContent":"Thank you all so much for your assistance in getting these materials for our students.
