Dear
Parents,
We are teaming up with Oldham
County Schools Artist in Residence, Leah Bradley, for an exciting end of the
year art unit on upcycling. Upcycling is taking an item that is no
longer needed or wanted and giving it new life as something that is either
useful or creative. We need your help in
two ways – 1) gathering materials for our projects and/or 2) volunteering in
the art room during your child’s schedule art class.
Below is a list of materials
that will be needed for our projects.
Please start collecting and sending them in to the art room until we let
you know that we have enough for each student.
-tin cans (i.e.
cans from soup, veggies, fruit, etc. – please thoroughly clean these and remove
label)
-ribbon/twine
(any design, any size)
-small sticks or dowel rods (roughly
8-11inches long)
-t-shirts (any design/print,
any size - please make sure they are clean…small stains or holes are fine)
-black shoe polish
-cotton swabs
-metal lids of all sizes (baby
food, soup vegetables, pickle jars, bottle caps)
-buttons
-fabric scraps
We hope you can join us in the
classroom during this unit! Please click on one of the class links to see
when your child’s class will be working on their upcycling project in the art
room. If you are able to join us, please
sign up using this same link. Be sure to
only select the sign-up for your child’s class…they are listed by homeroom
teacher.
