all about me supplies for in class project

All About Me Art Project     Supplies Due In Class,  Thursday August 22^rd

This Project will be done in Class.  You will need to bring some supplies from home to make it extra special.  This is a chance to share a little bit about yourself with all of us in a fun and creative way.  This will be a project that we will be working hard on so that we are proud of it.

We will be making a self-portrait with a collage border.    This will be on 12x18  paper, with a minimum portrait size of 5x7.You will need to bring in a recent-ish photo to use to help you draw your portrait (*please note the photo you bring in of yourself can be any size, as long as it helps you draw yourself).

The border will represent things about you.  You may draw those things or you may wish to bring small pictures/magazine cut outs/etc. to decorate with.

Some of the items your border needs to represent:

1.  a hobby or free-time activity that you enjoy

2. at least 3 of your favorites (color, movie, book, food, music, subject etc.)

3.  a place you would like to visit someday (or have visited)

4. something and/or someone that is really important to you

5. something that has to do with your family

6. something that reminds you of a memorable even or time in your life

7. a person you admire

9. a wish or a dream that you have

10. an important object to you

Some example items  that might be fun to add:  photos, magazine cut outs, small drawings or other small pieces or parts of artwork, post cards, cd covers, ticket stubs

Greetings Mar Vistans,

I hope that all of you had a great summer filled with fun and family.  I am looking forward to a great year with our fabulous 5th graders.

Many Thanks,
Mrs. Sara
