Project Description

a) Students will use tempera cake sets to engage in hands-on projects that connect directly to their studies of world civilizations. For example, students will explore Pompeii portraits and early Renaissance paintings, learning about the role of art in history while experimenting with color mixing and brush techniques.
b) These classroom sets will ensure that each grade level has reliable, easy-to-use paint supplies that can be shared across classes. This project meets the needs of students by blending art with social studies and history, reinforcing cross-curricular learning in a creative and engaging way.
 

 

Expected Outcomes

a) Students will improve their painting techniques, deepen their understanding of historical art, and develop cultural awareness through creative exploration. Their work will demonstrate both technical progress and a stronger appreciation for art history.

b) Outcomes will be observed through classroom projects, school displays, and student participation in discussions linking history with art. 

 

Purpose of Funding

Funds will be used to purchase multiple classroom sets of tempera cakes that can withstand daily use by large groups of students. Storage space will be utilized to organize art supplies for daily use.
