My Project

The materials requested will go a long way in this art class. They will allow the students to create projects that will be new to them and different. The students this year are going to be making different collages using different art materials that we don't get to use often, like buttons and tissue paper, bottle caps and corks. We will also be making bird houses this year. We are super excited to see what comes out the projects we have lined up this year. After the students design the bird houses and put them together we are going to paint them. They will also be able to add any extra touches they would like to add. School year 24-25 its going to be a great, hands-on year!
