Impact to My Classroom

# of Students Impacted: 1200

We are deeply grateful for your generous grant, which has had a transformative impact on our students and our program. Here are some of the key benefits and outcomes:

  1. Enhanced Learning Opportunities: The grant enabled students to explore careers in graphic design, printmaking, and mural creation. They gained hands-on experience and valuable insights into the creative industry.

  2. Skill Development: Students developed technical skills in art creation and design, boosting their confidence and competence. They learned about the intricacies of translating artistic ideas into mass-produced items and large-scale murals.

  3. Creative Expression: The program provided students with the opportunity to express themselves through art. They discovered new ways to communicate their ideas and emotions, fostering a deeper appreciation for the power of artistic expression.

  4. Increased Aspirations: Exposure to the possibilities of art-making inspired students to set higher goals and pursue careers they previously thought were unattainable. The experience broadened their horizons and encouraged them to dream big.

  5. Community Engagement: The mural projects fostered a sense of community among students, staff, and stakeholders. They provided a platform for collective expression, strengthening the bond within the school community.

  6. Cultural Legacy: The murals created through this grant have become a lasting legacy for our school. They serve as a visual dialogue that connects past, present, and future student populations, preserving important messages and memories.

  7. Inspiration and Motivation: The murals and other art projects have become sources of inspiration for current and future students. They provoke thought, encourage dialogue, and motivate students to pursue their artistic and academic goals.

Your support has empowered our students to explore their creative potential and achieve their dreams. We are excited to see the lasting impact of this grant on our school community.

Thank you once again for your generosity.

 

Original Grant Overview

Goal

The goal of the collaborative 6-8 grade art project is to help children see the magic that happens when kids work together in group art projects. One of the Art Departments campus beautification initiatives is to paint the campus wall with student design and painted murals that will last years.  

 

Category

School supplies - Markers, paints, paper, crayons, clay, pencils, sharpies, modeling dough, etc. 

 

What will be done with my students

The students during art class will come up with ideas for image that can use the technique of "mural painting" to line the walls of the school as a permanent art installation. The students will learn and be involved with all the decisions and process of designing, creating, and the installation of the murals.  

 

Benefits to my students

Murals are a Form of Communication. Art projects come and go. Murals are here to stay. They are a legacy, a means for students, staff, and stakeholders to communicate from generation to generation. Murals are an artistic dialogue serving to provoke and inspire present and future student populations. Murals speak to school bodies.  

 

Budget Narrative

The supplies will be purchased from amazon and will be reused the following year.
