Crafts & Mixed Media

mentioned on the start page, CH kids are intrinsically driven by creativity. Depending on what you have at home, I'm confident that your child can find items that can be used to crafts and mixed media pieces...art objects, sculptures, and other types of works. I will post assignments but students may need to modify the materials, and/or take a project in their own direction (just like at school). All of the students are pros at experimenting with materials and making interesting art pieces from non-essential materials.

Materials and tools that will be helpful are pencils, tape, glue, paper, color pencils, markers, crayons, scissors, stapler, etc.

To Students

As we know, we can make art out of anything. The combinations are infinite, while materials are not.

Please do not let any craft/mixed media projects and materials over concern you or your parents, as drawing is our primary focus (drawings will feed into the newspaper). Do something cool with what you’ve got (resourcefulness is something we value at our school).

Some projects can and will include recyclables, but I would ask that any materials, whether packaging or recyclables, be cleared by your parents.

Okay, let’s make stuff and have fun doing it, while first making sure that your math, reading, and science are taken care of!
