Welcome Back to Art!!

So last year my big school project was this mosaic. I had never done anything like this before, so it was defiantly a learning experience. And with a little (or a lot) help from my dad who has done pretty much every kind of construction, we got it finished and I could not be happier with the results! 

So on to the new school year! I am happy to be full time at only 1 school this year! I can't wait to get busy making beautiful art with all of  my wonderful little artist. I will be seeing every class once a week, so we are going to get a lot of good stuff done and work on building our art skills.

If you would like to help us make some amazing new art this year, there are a few things we will need:

• Craft Materials---> Burlap and other Fabric, Beads, Buttons, Wire in a variety of color, Yarn Cones, Sand Paper
• Toys--->Plastic Cars, Plastic Dinosaurs, Legos, Instruments, Play Sand (Or Beach Sand)
• All types of magazines, but sports magazines would be the best!
• Art Supplies---> Containers with lids (my favorite are the cream cheese and baby food), Flat boxes (like used for soda flats or the lid from a ream of paper), egg cartons, foam trays (Fruit and Veggies only, NO meat)
• Anything that would be interesting to draw--> Shells, Vases, Teapots, Keys, Fake Flowers etc. 

And then there are the basics that I have listed on the top right side of my blog that we are always in need of each year. Just remember if you sending in a container that once held food, please WASH it thoroughly before sending it to school. Thank you!

I can't wait to see all my students and hopefully some beautiful artwork that was done over the summer!
