My Project

We just had our annual art show, and it was a huge success with many beautiful pieces of art. I am planning next year's show to be a Candyland theme. Students will make large fake wrapped candy, candy-themed black light drawings, sculpted clay candy, giant lollipops and Gummy Bears.

We need tablecloths, a backdrop, bulletin board borders, a colorful archway of balloons, lightbulbs for Hershey Kisses, and many household items such as foam circles, foam sheets, and iridescent wrapping.

We are moving into a newly built school in the Fall, and I want to begin creating right away so we are ready with 1800 pieces of art by Spring. It takes a village and we have an amazing PTA that supports and helps set these things up.

I have researched the past few weeks and want to get some items in during the summer so we have what we need when Fall comes. Thanks for considering our fun project!
