String Art

Students had to plan out a design with marker or colored pencil, then create string art designs using poster board and yarn.

Aprons

We didn't have any aprons in the art room when I arrived.  I had some donated material and limited sewing skills from several years ago (middle school Home Ec class).  Put that with some determination, an old sewing machine...we now have aprons in the art room.
