My Project

My first-grade artists love to create art for fun. Many of them choose the art area for free choice time. While there, they like to color, use markers, and paint with watercolors. Some like to cut and glue. They give their artwork to their friends, their families, and their favorite teachers. They take the artwork home or sometimes it ends up in the trash. However, they create.

Making art for art's sake which is the best reason of all!

The fabric paper watercolor paper will be used in the art area and for special art projects. The pencils will be used for drawing and the fabric paper will be used to make clothes for paper dolls. With your support, our class will create!
