CPS offers art from K - 12th grade. Here some of our elementary students are trying oil pastels for the first time. They are an excellent choice for beginners with zero painting experience. Oil pastels are soft, oily compositions that make oil pastels great for blending. They are perfect tools to unleash your imagination and creativity. #CPSZEBRAPRIDE

CPS teachers took part in the OK Donors Choose Grant process earlier this year. Thirty-four teachers at CPS received funding for their proposals, equaling almost $34K in grants. Sarah Brunjes Hall, a teacher at WRJH, received funding for a printmaking press and paper, which will allow her to teach printmaking to my art students. Printmaking encourages both creativity and expression. This addition will benefit my classes by teaching students a method of artmaking that is both sophisticated and open-ended. This art form will be an essential addition to the 2D art methods taught at the junior high level. "My goal is to continue exposing my students to various art methods and materials. The patience and thinking necessary to create successful art pieces are important no matter what my students choose for their future careers. I hope to give my students a broad range of exposure to the arts in hopes that it will kindle a further inquiry as they mature both as makers of art and adults who appreciate art in all forms," she added. #CPSZEBRAPRIDE
