May 2015 Art Fair and Auction


Wow, the art fair and auction is finally done. Everyone was so creative with the class projects. They auctioned off for quite a bit of money this year. I loved our 4th grade class the best. It was a string art project and we used one of the kids in the class-old fence scraps, copper nails, white string. And this is what I came up with. 
Here's some of the other classes works of art. Sorry for the bad photo angles but there is a lot of interest in the artwork and it was tough to get good shots- I guess that's a good problem right?
Love this one out of jelly beans
This was rolled paper. Here's a close up
Such beautiful artwork by all the classes and of course the amazing job of our teacher Crystal Cruse. It's amazing what she  does for the school she had every single student in elementary school artwork framed and on display to raise some good money.

      I bought the broad head copper nails at Ace hardware so they would be easily strung and stand out more against the white string. I made a stencil, and made a dot, where every nail needed to go into. I was working with 5th graders, so they were fine using the nail and hammer. I made sure the nail didn't go in too far, and had to fix a few of them. They I gave 4 kids at a time lengths of white string, I put a slipknot on one end, and had them weave it back and forth, whatever they wanted to do. They the next group of kids would go. It worked out great!!
