WHO ARTED?
Looking for a quick successful fundraiser? How about an art party?
I, along with many other art teachers have been inspired by the amazing Cassie Stephens and her passion for needle felting. I took the leap this year and decided to order the needle felting kit from NASCO. Before I started working on developing a unit for my 4th graders I thought my student teacher and I should have some fun and learn a little bit more about the medium. Inspired by the many adorable hair clips that Cassie has created we decided to make ourselves a paint pallet head band!
We ended up wearing our headbands to school on a Friday and man were they a hit all of our young lady students could not say enough about them. We had lots of students coming to us asking if they could make one. Knowing that not ALL of our students would be a big fan of the project we decided to make it into a fundraising opportunity for the art department.
Our first party was with the 4th and 5th graders we had about 18 students sign up to stay after school and make some art. We provide some fun snacks and hot cocoa for the kids to sip on while they worked. We charged each student $12 to participate. They loved it and are asking for more!
I am currently working on creating an art party directed more towards the male audience and playing with the idea of doing something with Minecraft or Legos. I am also working on doing a Family Night art party. So excited for the possibilities for our Art Parties.
