Auction! Auction! Auction!

-
 I have been super busy lately working on DuPonts Auction Art Projects! Every year in November we have a fundraising supper, silent, and live auction to help our PTO raise money. It is usually a great success, and a lot of people in our community donate items to help our school. It is so nice to be in a supportive community with parents who do so much for their children.
I assist students in making a class art project to go in our silent auction. It's a lot of work, but it's worth it! Parents usually get into quite the battle to win their childs art work!
Here are some of the projects we have done this year...

                                                               First Grade Birdhouses


                                                           Kindergarten Bowls


                                                               Second Grade Flower Planters




                                                                      Third Grade Umbrellas

                                                                   Fourth Grade Bulldog Tubs

Stop by and see us for lots of good deals on NOVEMBER 11th!!!!!

Toilet paper sculpting!

Yes, that is the correct title of this post! Earlier this year I went to a workshop where one of the ideas was to sculpt with toilet paper. The trick is to barely wet one side of the paper then let the water soak or seep into the toilet paper. You can shape it, let dry, & when it dries it will hold its shape & can be painted. I decided to teach pop art and Wayne Theibaud with this lesson. So, 5th grade students are creating their favorite food. This is still a project in progress....more pics soon! I started everyone with sculpting a simple egg, then we painted them green & various other colors. The timing worked out great for Dr. Suess read across America!
