Looking for Art Teacher sites

[LisaInNc]

I have volunteered to run at art program at my DDs private school. I have done this before but it gets expensive. The school had offered to pay but I consider it my gift to the school so I need some budget ideas for these classes.

The reason I want something an art teacher would use it I know that their cost would be reasonable and it would be crafts that can be taught. I find that a lot of the places that I found crafts are meant for a 1 on 1 with your child.

I am doing K-3 grades once a week.

Thanks!!!

I teach craft classes in the summer for our city Rec. dept. and I always order from S&S arts and crafts from Colechester,CT. You can google search them and check out our products on-line.

I taught K-12 school with a very low budget ($400) for the year for 200 students last year. That budget was even starting from scratch since they had zero art supplies before. Here is a website with a picture and description of all the projects I did with them.

I didn't do many crafts and focused more on art related things since that is what the IL state standards focus on but I think they had a lot of fun and I got tons of positive feedback!

Make fall leaves. You just cut out some leaves from paper towel (bounty works great) and then allow the kids to color them with food coloring in water. When they dry they look GREAT!!!! It was so fun and simple. My two students who HATE art spent 30 minutes doing this project (made 10 leaves each LOL).
