    Keeping the Art Room Green

    One way you can support our Art department at Farmland is by the donation of old or recyclable items. Several items that you would usually throw away can be reused for different art projects or help out with organization in the art room.

    Empty Paper Towel Rolls Wallpaper Sample Books or Scraps
    Empty Plastic Containers (Butter Tub, Sour Cream, Cake Frosting) Old Calendars (Animals, Landscapes, Portraots, Still-Life)
    Empty Clementine Case Old Coffee Table Art Books
    Empty Styrofoam Egg Cartons Old National Geographic Magazines
    Empty Coffee Cans (Tin or Plastic) Colorful Wrapping Paper Scraps
    Empty Plastic Take-Out Containers Old Buttons or Ribbon Scraps
    Old Tupperware Craft Feathers or Pony Beads
    Old Wicker Baskets Old Broken Crayons
    Fake Flowers, vegetables, fruit or leafs Large Plastic Libs
    Mat Board or Foam Core Scraps  

    Cleaning that Mess!

    With the use of paint, glazes, clay, and, ink, Art class can be a huge mess. And sometimes that mess comes home on your student. While a majority of our materials are washable, some stains seem to be impossible to remove. For stains on my clothing, I use Shout Ultra Gel for spot treatment. It works.
