It's that time of year. Gearing up for the school year there are a few needed items. As always we need a few items. Life-like animal figures/figurines. These will be used for children to look and see, and draw what they see from 3D. I have books and magazines with animals but giving the child a tangible object in which to observe and draw from adds another approach and skill to their art tool box. Linoleum Block for carving and block printing. I would really like to expose the upper grades 3-8 to carving on linoleum to practice the "woodcut" process of printing. Brayers for the block printing (we have two, we need at least one more for the three colors red, white, and black ink) Block printing ink. We use red, black, and white. More would be fun, but I need a brayer for each color. STUFF! Like trinkets, game pieces, small broken toys, interesting plastic pieces. We need interesting shapes and things to create found object sculptures. Think junk drawer items. A variety gives the kids a variety of things they can assemble. Other items we can always use, markers, cotton swabs, glue sticks, sharpies. Or just ask! Creativity has endless possibilities!
