I have the best job in the world - I get to spend my days teaching art to a great group of creative, energetic middle schoolers. For many of these students, the art room is a safe haven. It is a place they feel supported, engaged, and empowered to speak their minds. In art, they learn to think critically and creatively about the world around them. They create artwork that reflects their personal identities and growing social consciousness.
I strive to provide my students with relevant and engaging projects that challenge their creativity and critical thinking skills. Sometimes though, I don't have the funds to make all of my ideas a reality. Your support would make a big difference! All students deserve a quality arts education.
