Creating and Crafting with Shirley

Creating and Crafting with Shirley Description:
Teaching creativity through the expression of paper art is developed through using specific card and crafting tools.

A variety of art techniques and disciplines will be explored. Paper density, various inks and their properties, adhesives, and dies for cutting patterns are a few examples. Additionally, the students will use concept learning in the areas of math, measuring, shading, and design. These will vary depending on the project. Some elements of recycling can be integrated with three-dimensional projects.

Finally, many of these projects make for community involvement or fund raising, community involvement. Many of my students make cards to support Texas Children’s Hospital, Veterans, or simply giving care cards to retirement communities. Age ranges: 5-90 Age appropriateness depends on attention and developmental concept ability. Having graduated with a Child Development degree and working with special needs students, allows for success at any level of development. Projects: One per week – to be completed each one hour session. Samples include: covered composition book, canister, Post-It note pad cover, pencil topper, paper clip topper, 4 themed cards, simple box or a variety of the above. Cost: $100/ 8 week sessions (approximately)
Bring: Everything is provided, however, free your mind enough to create and use your imagination.

My daughter’s best friend’s birthday is Saturday! Her favorite color is purple. I think I got enough purple. I used a Paper Pumpkin and butchered the content for my use. I really like Painted Lavender from Stampin’ Up!
