Students use tissues, Lysol wipes, Lysol spray, and other cleaning materials throughout the school day, especially because many of our art materials and tools are shared between classes. These supplies help support general classroom hygiene and allow us to maintain consistent cleaning routines throughout the day. During cleanup time, students are asked to clean their tables, reorganize shared materials, wipe down surfaces, and make sure their work areas are ready for the next group of students.\r\n\r\nHaving these supplies available has helped make classroom cleanliness a shared responsibility. We use the cleaning materials between every class so that students can walk into a classroom that is clean, organized, and ready for learning and creating. I believe it is important for students to understand that taking care of their classroom is part of taking care of themselves and one another. Clean Creators has helped me create a routine where students contribute to maintaining a safe and welcoming environment while also developing habits of responsibility, organization, and respect for our shared creative space.","fullyFundedDate":1779990885441,"projectUrl":"project/clean-creators/10279889/","projectTitle":"Clean Creators","teacherDisplayName":"Dr. Cooper-Cravey","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp10181982_orig.jpg?crop=1875,1876,x0,y275&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1769107000574","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/coopercravey"},{"teacherId":10181982,"projectId":10279557,"letterContent":"The Fabric Fusions project has introduced my students to materials and techniques that they might not otherwise have the opportunity to experience in a traditional visual arts classroom. Students have used a variety of fabrics, embroidery floss, thread, bamboo embroidery looms, and other textile materials to explore embroidery, fiber arts, and mixed media. One of our most engaging activities allowed students to embroider directly onto paper and photographs, combining traditional drawing and imagery with thread, texture, and pattern. Students learned basic embroidery techniques while also experimenting with how fiber materials could transform a flat two dimensional surface into something more tactile and visually complex.\r\n\r\nThese projects have encouraged students to think beyond conventional art materials and consider how different materials can work together to communicate an idea. Embroidery has given students another way to explore line, shape, texture, repetition, and composition while developing patience, precision, and confidence with a new artistic process. Students have been able to incorporate textiles into mixed media projects, personal artwork, and creative experiments, discovering that art can be created through many different materials and processes. Providing these supplies has expanded the possibilities in my classroom and allowed students to develop skills in fiber and textile arts that are not traditionally emphasized in a secondary visual arts setting.","fullyFundedDate":1780070544907,"projectUrl":"project/fabric-fusion/10279557/","projectTitle":"Fabric Fusion","teacherDisplayName":"Dr. Cooper-Cravey","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp10181982_orig.jpg?crop=1875,1876,x0,y275&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1769107000574","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/coopercravey"},{"teacherId":10181982,"projectId":10279388,"letterContent":"The Vibrant Visions project has given my students greater freedom to explore color, experiment with painting techniques, and bring their individual ideas to life. Acrylic and watercolor paints have become an important part of both our two dimensional projects and our mixed media work. Students regularly choose from a variety of materials when responding to our biweekly artist prompts, which challenge them to explore different concepts, emotions, and ideas through their artwork. Having watercolor paints readily available allows students to experiment with transparency, layering, blending, color relationships, and expressive mark making while developing the technical skills needed to communicate their ideas visually. Each student enters the classroom with a distinct way of seeing the world, and these materials give them another way to make that vision visible.\r\n\r\nThe impact is especially evident when students begin with a simple concept and use color to transform it into something much more personal and expressive. A student might begin with a sketch exploring an emotion, memory, or personal experience and then use watercolor or acrylic paint to build atmosphere, emphasize certain elements, or create visual movement within the composition. These materials give students the freedom to make choices about how color can communicate meaning rather than simply using paint to fill in a drawing. The support for Vibrant Visions has helped me create a classroom where students can experiment, take creative risks, and continue developing their artistic voices through color, while learning that their unique perspectives are valuable parts of the creative process.","fullyFundedDate":1779330616663,"projectUrl":"project/vibrant-vision/10279388/","projectTitle":"Vibrant Vision","teacherDisplayName":"Dr. Cooper-Cravey","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp10181982_orig.jpg?crop=1875,1876,x0,y275&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1769107000574","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/coopercravey"},{"teacherId":10181982,"projectId":10053648,"letterContent":"The professional quality illustration materials provided through this project have become an important part of my students' everyday creative practice. In my art classes, students begin each class with a sketchbook prompt, so drawing and visual problem solving are part of our daily routine. Students have used the drawing papers, mixed media papers, markers, Sharpies, liners, acrylic markers, and other illustration materials to sketch, draft ideas, experiment with techniques, and develop more complex illustrations. Having access to a variety of materials allows students to move from an initial sketch to a more developed piece while making thoughtful decisions about line, color, composition, texture, and visual storytelling.\r\n\r\nOne student in particular has used these materials to push her strengths as an illustrator while exploring concepts that are personally meaningful to her. As someone who has a deep love for dogs, she has incorporated that interest into her biweekly artist prompts while exploring more complex ideas such as focus, bravery, grief, and resilience. She often begins with pencil sketches and drafts before developing her illustrations with acrylic markers, acrylic pens, liners, and other mixed media materials. Watching her transform a simple idea into a detailed and expressive illustration demonstrates exactly why access to professional quality materials matters. These tools give students the opportunity to take creative risks, experiment beyond their comfort zones, and develop the confidence and technical skills needed to grow as artists.","fullyFundedDate":1778262830139,"projectUrl":"project/illustration-station/10053648/","projectTitle":"Illustration Station","teacherDisplayName":"Dr. Cooper-Cravey","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp10181982_orig.jpg?crop=1875,1876,x0,y275&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1769107000574","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/coopercravey"},{"teacherId":10181982,"projectId":10049364,"letterContent":"The materials provided through this project have given my AP 2D Art and Design students the freedom to explore their individual artistic voices while developing meaningful, cohesive portfolios. Students have used oil pastels, acrylic paints, watercolor, colored pencils, paint markers, and other materials to investigate subjects that are deeply personal to them. One student developed a playful body of work centered around cats, using different media to explore their personalities, stories, and the relationships she formed with them. Another student used these materials to explore her multicultural identity, examining how culture, family, and personal experiences have shaped the way she understands herself. These projects allowed students to take ideas that were meaningful in their lives and translate them into visual stories through experimentation, symbolism, color, and mixed media.\r\n\r\nAnother student explored emotional states, psychology, trauma, and grief through a series of artworks that allowed him to process difficult experiences and communicate emotions that were sometimes difficult to express through words. Having access to a variety of high quality materials gave my students the opportunity to experiment, layer media, revise their ideas, and make intentional artistic choices as they developed their AP portfolios. Rather than simply creating individual assignments, they were able to build sustained bodies of work that reflected their experiences, perspectives, and growth as artists. The support of this project has impacted approximately 35 students by giving them the materials and creative freedom to take risks, tell their stories, and develop artwork that feels authentically their own.","fullyFundedDate":1778262830289,"projectUrl":"project/visual-storytelling-in-ap-2d-art-and-des/10049364/","projectTitle":"Visual Storytelling in AP 2D Art and Design","teacherDisplayName":"Dr. Cooper-Cravey","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp10181982_orig.jpg?crop=1875,1876,x0,y275&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1769107000574","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/coopercravey"},{"teacherId":4139300,"projectId":9968846,"letterContent":"Dear Generous Donors,\r\n\r\nThank you for your incredible support of our classroom. Because of your generosity, our students now have access to drones that are transforming the way they learn and engage with technology.\r\n\r\nThe drones have provided hands-on learning experiences that bring science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) concepts to life. Rather than simply reading about coding, engineering, problem-solving, and flight principles, students are actively applying these concepts in real-world situations. As they learn to operate and program the drones, they are developing critical thinking, collaboration, communication, and perseverance skills that will benefit them far beyond the classroom.\r\n\r\nWhat excites students most is the opportunity to see their learning take flight. The drones spark curiosity and enthusiasm, encouraging students to experiment, troubleshoot, and celebrate their successes. Many students eagerly anticipate drone activities and demonstrate increased engagement during lessons. The technology has created an environment where learning feels meaningful, interactive, and fun.\r\n\r\nSeveral students who are typically hesitant to participate in traditional classroom activities have especially connected with this technology. The drones have given them a chance to shine, build confidence, and discover talents they did not know they had. Students who enjoy technology, gaming, engineering, and creative problem-solving have become leaders among their peers, often helping others navigate challenges and learn new skills.\r\n\r\nYour generosity has done more than provide equipment; it has opened doors to new opportunities and inspired students to imagine future careers in technology, engineering, aviation, and other STEM fields.

Although we are still in the early weeks of the school year, students have already begun experimenting with the tablets and learning how they can use digital tools to create artwork. They are becoming familiar with the drawing surfaces, testing different digital techniques, and discovering how traditional art skills can translate into a digital environment. Students have also started exploring ways to incorporate 3D elements into their designs, which is encouraging them to think about shape, form, space, and composition in new ways.\r\n\r\nWhat has been especially exciting is seeing students immediately begin generating ideas of their own as they experiment with the technology. Some students have approached the tablets with a clear idea of what they want to create, while others are using this introductory period to explore, make mistakes, and discover possibilities they had not considered before. As we move further into the semester, I plan to build on these early explorations through digital illustration, mixed media, and 3D design projects that allow students to develop their technical skills while continuing to find their individual creative voices.

Your generosity gave my 10th-grade World History students an exciting and creative way to reinforce what they were learning in the classroom while also building important life skills.\r\n\r\nThe LEGO sets allowed students to take concepts from World History and bring them to life through hands-on activities. Students were able to build historical structures like the Trevi Fountain, represent important ideas and events like the Italian Renaissance and Chinese New Year, and work together to demonstrate their understanding of the topics we studied. These activities gave students another way to connect with history beyond reading a textbook, completing a worksheet, or taking notes.\r\n\r\nJust as importantly, LEGO Lunch Bunch provided students with a positive and welcoming environment where they could build confidence, strengthen their self-esteem, and practice teamwork. Students worked together, shared ideas, solved problems, and encouraged one another. It was wonderful to see students who may not always feel confident academically find opportunities to be creative, contribute to their group, and take pride in what they created.\r\n\r\nYour support helped make learning more engaging and meaningful for my students.
