My students continue to amaze me with what they create. It's a tile one school with a diverse student population. I don't ever want my students to feel like the supplies they have for creating art are not good enough. There are too many situations in their life that try to tell them they are not good enough. My goal as an educator is to do the opposite. To prove to them they are good enough and they should demand the best for themselves and those around them. Getting the best supplies is just one of the ways I can show this to my students.
