• Students will explore the history of tie-dye, how tie-dye is used in various parts of the world, and compare natural dyes with synthetic dyes.  Students will do at least one tie-dye project to take home during the week. 

• These are just a few things that start with the letter “P” that we will be talking about during intersession.  We will use a photo of a person, place, or pet to engage in the process of printmaking.  We will use a panoramic photo of an area near or around the school to create a collaborative painting.  We will use recess time for playing and possibly lunch one day will be a picnic with our own creatively designed placemats.  Students will be asked to have a parent or guardian share a favorite photo of people, places, or pets to use for the printmaking project.  The picture may be emailed or a copy could be brought to school. Originals will be returned with the student. Hopefully, our time will go perfectly as planned!

• Students will be designing and making cards for residents at a Retirement home. Students will also be creating card sized art to hide, for other students to find around the school to brighten their day.  Students will design and create collaborative artwork with cards of positive messages. We will utilize styrofoam prints, watercolor, and scrapbooking methods to create art.  Students will create art cards to take home and use throughout the year.

• Students will create their own personalized stationery sets- paper and envelopes with their own designs. They will learn about using patterns, embossing, and making recycled paper. Students will practice letter writing and will send letters to friends, family, and community members! There may even be a field trip or two for letter delivery!
