Students in grade 6 are starting "Trash Fashion" in art 100 which they will be working on until the end of the year. The students are designing and then creating outfits out of recycled materials. The students are re-purposing items that would normally been thrown away to create them. If anyone is willing to save their “clean” trash for us, I would deeply appreciate it. We are looking for pretty much anything, as long as it is free from food debris. :-) Examples: Plastic Shopping Bags Used Gift Wrap Plastic Table Cloths Plastic Containers from Salad, Spinach, etc Coffee Cups (Styrofoam, Plastic) Milk Jugs Newspapers Random Items (puzzle pieces, cds, fishnet materials)

Just a friendly reminder that progress report grades close tomorrow, Wednesday May 10. If any work is incomplete or students are not satisfied with their current grade, please make reviews as soon as possible for a revised grade.

Save the date! We are currently preparing for the art show :-) Art room 100 is looking for donations of black construction paper, size 12"x18" or larger to mat the work on. Thank you!

Hope everyone had a fun, restful Spring break and are ready to take on our final quarter! Just a reminder- April Extra credit is posted on the Instagram page, and below. There are less than two weeks left this month! Do not forget to hand in your extra credit the first week of May. I will be posting a May extra credit at the end of next week.
