grade 6 students

Just a friendly reminder to grade 6 students and parents: we will be using acrylic (permanent) paint this and next week for our masks. I will have aprons for students to wear, but please be conscientious of what is worn as the paint does not wash out. 

donors choose permission slip

I will be handing out additional copies of the Donors Choose Permission Slip/Photo Waiver to students who did not return theirs during quarter 1. Please have these signed and returned as soon as possible. We have a few deadlines for thank you letters/impact photos quickly approaching. As you know, Donors Choose has helped supply many of the art materials in our classroom and part of the agreement is that I have to post photographs of the students using the materials that we have received. Thank you for your help! If you would like to check out our Donors Choose page: www.donorschoose.org/stevens219a Please consider donating to and/or sharing out our link!

art club- ideas

Image
My goal for when we return after the New Year from our Holiday break is to organize an arts and crafts club for students after school. As many know, our large after school program is no longer occurring this year due to a budget cut. Depending on how many resources we have will limit the amount of students who will be able to attend, but my goal is to collect as much materials as we can so that any students who are interested (from either art class) can attend. I am trying to organize collection of materials to do some fun (and practical) things for the kids to make incorporating art and function. We are looking for donations of materials to complete the following projects: Floral Hula Hoop Wall Decorations: Hula Hoops (Goal 20) Fake Flowers/ Leaves Floral Tape (Goal 25 rolls) Extension chords Watercolor Clocks: Working Analog Clocks (Goal 20) Watercolor Paper (Goal 20 12x18" large pieces) White Pigment Pens (Goal 20) Funfetti Candles:

We are collecting any outdated (but working) handheld hair dryers that you may be willing to part with. They are great for drying painted works in a pinch! Thank you!
