Art By Me is here!
I am excited to say that we have started our art project for "Art by Me." I have chosen the book A Color of His Own by Leo Lionni for our inspiration.
"Art By Me" is a unique art program that transforms a student's artwork into beautiful, professionally made products.
It offers benefits to all involved in the process: students, parents and family members, schools and organizations.
Creating art is fun for students. "Art By Me" generates additional enthusiasm and excitement among students as they see customized products made from their own artwork. Students develop positive attitudes and their self-esteem is boosted at seeing parents and family members buying t-shirts, calendars, note cards, etc. that display their masterpieces!
Please look for your child's artwork along with an order form coming home in your child's folder.
~ Artwork will go home with tracks 1, 3 and 4 on February 20th and will be due back March 2nd.
~Artwork will go home with track 2 on March 5th and is due back on March 16th.
Please be sure to return your child's art along with the order form and a check mad out to DRES PTA
