AHOY ARRRRTISTS!!

I can't wait to get busy making beautiful art with all of  my wonderful little artists. 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. This year school's theme is "Where Learning and Students Arrgh Treasured!", which is all pirate related so be on the look out for wonderful pirate self portraits and pirate ship seascapes!

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, Sand Paper
• Toys--->Plastic Cars, Plastic Dinosaurs, Legos, 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.  
• Pringle Cans-->This year 5th grade with be making pottery and the Pringle's cans are perfect for that cylinder shape. 

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!
