Art inspires our imagination and fills us with awe. There is nothing more amazing than seeing a First Grader's art cause an adults jaw to drop. With your donation of paint, magnets, cord, keychains, scissors, and other supplies, my students can create different works of art.
My students are first graders, filled with energy and vast amounts of imagination.
They live and go to school in the middle of nature, surrounded by a close knit community of creative people, in California. Our school is an eclectic collection of caring, creative, diverse, and supportive families.
My Project
Included are a variety opportunities for students to work "outside the box." The pieces the students will create, using various media, will feel professional and will be treasured for a lifetime. The materials, including paint, magnets, keychains, and scissors, will provide supplies for 3 specific projects for all first graders at our school. Many of the supplies will then be reused for countless other projects.
Project 1: "Mini Monets": This project uses pastels; a favored medium of Impressionist artists – drawn onto matte surface Shrink Film. The chalk of the pastels doesn't actually shrink, it simply condenses along with the film to form rich, intense areas of color. The piece can then become a necklace, a decorative pin, or a magnet.
In addition, these creative first graders will be able to produce an “art box” book that will contain samples of texture, color, form, and line or other examples of design elements or styles.
They will also have the opportunity to use canvas boards for their professional paintings.
These materials will give all the first-graders at our school a chance to be professional artists.
The art they create will last forever, as will the pride they feel from creating it.
