Goodbye summer, hello school!
We begin our school year with the Art to Remember fundraiser! This is a chance to get your child's artwork on a keepsake item while raising money for our school. This year grades 3-5 will have a free choice of drawing. Their three guidelines are that the drawing must be of something they like, the whole page must be filled with color, and the student's name must be visible.
Kindergarten students will be coloring their entire page with crayon and also including their name in a drawing inspired by the book The Day the Crayons Quit. They will be challenged to use all of the colors in their crayon box. Later, we will add a hand print in the middle with paint.
First grade will be tracing their hand and coloring in the sections either with solid colors or patterns. They will also find a spot for their name.
Second grade will be drawing pictures of their houses. To brainstorm what their houses may need we completed a circle map with words and pictures. Their whole page must also be colored and their name visible somewhere on the front of the paper.
All artworks are the original creation of the child with guidance and encouragement from the art teacher (me!). Books are provided as a visual resource as well as drawings on the board for help.

Some lessons have been taught to multiple grade levels. Not all schools participate in the same lessons due to budget, materials, student needs, etc. Please leave a comment with praise, questions, or ways to polish.
