Help me give my students fiber arts supplies, such as, felt, needles, thread and googly eyes so they can use their creative minds and hands to make something wonderful!
The students at my school are creative and innovative learners who love hands on experiences. They love opportunities to create in new ways and they always get excited when they are able to do this in the art classroom!
Students here are caring as well and love to get involved in helping the community whether it be through canned food drives or Relay for Life to name a couple.
Students here strive to be kind!
My Project
Students will use the materials to learn beginning sewing techniques in a fun and creative environment.
Imagine a classroom in which you are given a chance to design and create your own "Monster Stuffie", "Scribble Monster Stuffie", "Pizza Pillow" or "Donut Keychain".
Students will use the materials to learn beginning sewing techniques in a fun and creative environment.
I will integrate my projects with other subject areas such as writing and math. For example some teachers at my school use pizza as a a way to teach adding details to their sentences. Just as the teachers use pizza as a way to model increasing details in their writing I will encourage students to express their selves creatively through using the elements of art to make their very own "monster-piece!"
I will collaborate with the Media Specialist at my school to incorporate monster stories and activities while creating "Monster Stuffies" in the Art room. In today's fast paced world I hope to open new doors to students who may not otherwise get to experience the lost art of hand sewing.
