The introduction of etching tools and styrofoam plates has allowed students to explore new artistic avenues, resulting in works that reflect their unique perspectives and experiences.\r\n\r\nStudents have eagerly engaged with the new materials, using the etching tools to carve designs into plastic plates and the styrofoam plates to create prints that capture their observations and interpretations. These projects not only honed their technical skills but also encouraged them to reflect on their personal experiences and express them through art.\r\n\r\nThe initial reactions to the new materials were filled with excitement and curiosity. Students were fascinated by the process of transferring their designs onto paper, and their enthusiasm was evident as they shared their creations with peers. This enthusiasm has fostered a collaborative and supportive classroom environment, where students are inspired to experiment and learn from each other.\r\n\r\nBuilding on their initial projects, students are now exploring more complex themes and techniques in their printmaking. They are experimenting with layering colors, adding textures, and combining etching with other mediums to create more dynamic pieces. This progression allows them to deepen their understanding of printmaking and further develop their artistic skills.\r\n\r\nYour support has made all of this possible, providing students with the tools and inspiration to explore their creativity. Thank you for being a part of their artistic journey.","fullyFundedDate":1738644754647,"projectUrl":"project/outstanding-artist-supplies/9062526/","projectTitle":"Outstanding Artist Supplies","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Kersey","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp8265648_orig.jpg?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1736951255014","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/8265648"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_95901","uses�ǿմ�ý":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":538,"numTeachers":41,"percentFrplEligible":54,"percentAsian":0,"percentBlack":9,"percentWhite":1,"percentIndigenous":1,"percentLatinx":85,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"7 - 8","studentTeacherRatio":"13.1:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"URBAN","ncesMetroType":"CITY_LARGE"},"inStateSupporters":54.9,"schoolId":95901,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Raul H Castro Middle School on @�ǿմ�ý:","schoolName":"Raul H Castro Middle School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/arizona/cartwright-school-district-83/raul-castro-middle-school/95901"}
