Week of August 27-30

We've survived the second week of school.  Let me begin by saying Thank You again to all of the families that have sent in various supplies for the art room.  Every donation helps a lot.  Because we use a variety of art supplies as well as other supplied in creating projects (and cleaning up after creating), every single donation helps.  Other things you can continue to send throughout the year include toilet paper and paper towel rolls, magazines, and newspapers.  These items can be used in a variety of ways when creating projects during the year.  Other items we use a lot of include glue sticks, pencils (lots and lots of pencils), watercolor paints and colored pencils.  I appreciate any donations at any time during the year!

This week in art class the students have been working on creating their own unique puzzle pieces.  These puzzle pieces will all be combined to create a unique puzzle display in the classroom.  Because I get to do art with about 250 students this fill our class bulletin board.  The completed puzzle will remain on display throughout the school year.

Students who fail to use time wisely or have missed class this week will be able to bring a puzzle piece home and complete it.  These are their first creative project to be graded.

Next week students will begin creating their portfolios.  Portfolios are used to store all of the artwork they create throughout the year.
