Dear FAITH families,
I wanted to write a note concerning the art for the older two groups.
First a comment about the assignment given in class. I asked the students to work on a self-portrait before coming to class on the 10th. I realize this is too difficult without some instruction so if your child has already made the self-portrait or is happily working on it please continue. If they would like to try something else my original thought was to have them do a drawing or painting on an apple. Either will be acceptable.
I have been busy researching the time period looking into native American art and colonial craft and am exciting about the projects we will be working on. There are a few things I will need the students to collect at home to bring in for the projects on September 10 and 17.
Please have along on the 10th
compass, pencil, eraser, ruler (transparent preferred), calligraphy marker (if you already have)
On the 17th please bring in a small glass jar with a lid (no bigger than 3"in diameter and 3" tall). A baby food jar or jam jar should work.
Also a large eyed needle and thin yarn color of choice. ( I will have plenty extra if you forget or don't have some on hand.) You may bring in a larger jar as well and we will use it if we have time, it could be used as a pencil holder. We will be needle hitching around the small jar and using it in future weeks to hold ink for our quill pens.
In November each student will be needing a 3" hoop for embroidery. If anyone has extra that someone else can use please let me know. We will also need white embroidery floss and 8 x 11 felt in green and red.
Thank you for taking the time to gather these supplies. I look forward to getting started!
Sincerely,
Janelle Kamerman
