Thank you to the following investor for funding this grant.

Suncoast Credit Union - $167.86

Project Goal

Purchase supplies for my fourth and fifth grade art students to create a three-dimensional wired "Tree of Life."

How Project Benefits Students

Creating a Sculpture will allow art students to meet their state approved curriculum requirement regarding three-dimensional art (Big Ideal S, Skills, Techniques and Processes: Sculpture).

Expected Outcome(s)

This project will expand my students’ understanding of art that “takes up space,” and allow them to investigate and improve their abilities in creating a three-dimensional object.

Each fourth and fifth grade student will be provided with the necessary supplies to create a wired tree using a black rock as a base. The tree will be adorned with beads to add the decorative look that Gustaf Klimt created in his painting “The Tree of Life.”

Detailed Cost Summary

Average cost per project for the 60 4th graders using the Natural Chip Stone Beads will be $1.58
Average cost per project for the 50 5th graders using the Imitation Pearl Beads will be $1.36
