Supplies needed in the Art Room

Hello,

Each year we seem to collect odd bits in order to create our masterpieces.  This year I would like to request the following:

digital cameras (with the ability to either connect to a computer or that has an SD card)
wire hangers
black sharpie markers
buttons
small bits (not larger than 2" square - for collages)
tissues (can't have enough of these)
wipes can't have enough of these, too)

Basically, I will take almost anything.  Before you throw it out, please ask me if we can use it.  No item is too weird.  I am usually inspired by the things I get.  So, Spring clean and see what good stuff you can find for our creative kids.

Thanks,

Ms. McKinnon

Back to School

Hello,

Welcome back to school. I hope everyone had a fun and safe Summer.

I created this blog so that parents and students have the most up to date information about what is happening in the art room.

You will find goals, vocabulary, homework, and other fun things associated with the current art lesson. Please click on the appropriate link to the left and you will be directed to your grade level page.

Just like last year, we will start of by making our Pinwheel Project in honor of the International Day of Peace on September 21. Be sure to stop by the park across from the school to see this annual art installation on 9/21.

Best of luck for another successful school year.

Ms. McKinnon
