DocuSign Envelope ID:71 71A1 F5-8FF6-4COD-9E6C-2224164C181 D <br /> Northside Elementary School <br /> Arts in Education Grant Application 2016 <br /> Proposed Use of Grant Funds <br /> Painted Garden Benches <br /> The grant funds will enable Alder Keene,the Northside Elementary Art Teacher,to <br /> collaborate with the 5th grade students to design and paint two decorative benches for our <br /> Learning Garden. The project will take place in Spring 2017. Through the making of this <br /> project,students will learn the steps that go into designing art for a community: creating a <br /> proposal,sketching out ideas, collecting community feedback, collaborating with other <br /> artists and installing a final design. The community-based project directly aligns with the <br /> 5th grade North Carolina Visual Arts Standards. <br /> Aside from several scattered boulders,our school garden lacks comfortable areas to sit. <br /> The garden is an effective teaching tool for multiple grade levels,but not a place that <br /> students naturally gravitate towards to enjoy a peaceful,inspiring environment.Artful <br /> benches will both enliven our garden space and provide students with a quiet place to relax <br /> and reflect and hopefully to create art themselves outside of the classroom.The project is <br /> one that can be appreciated and used by the entire student body and teachers at Northside <br /> r <br /> and hopefully the surrounding Northside community as well. <br /> Northside Elementary Painted Garden Benches Project Costs: <br /> Item: Quantity: Total Cost: Supplier: <br /> Bench 2 $400.00 ($200.00 ea) Home Depot <br /> Exterior wood paint 6 gal $180.00 ($30.00 ea) Home Depot <br /> Exterior wood 2 gal $40.00 ($20.00 ea) Home Depot <br /> primer <br /> And sealer <br /> Sand Paper 10 packs $30.00 ($3.00 each) Home Depot <br /> Brushes,trays,tarp, 15 brushes,4 trays, 2 $70.00 Home Depot <br /> cleaning supplies tarps, cleaning supplies <br /> Oil-based wood 2 gal $60.00 ($30 ea) Lowes <br /> preserver <br /> Project cost before $780.00 <br /> tax <br /> Taxes (7.5%) $58.50 <br /> Total Project Cost $838.50 <br /> Total Amount Requested: $420, to be matched by Northside PTA <br />
