Dear Students: Here is an Art Choice List you can enjoy this week. I hope you have fun!!!!

How to make a Treasure Map

Materials (paper, pen, used tea bag, paper towel, cooking oil) Think about the map you want to make. It could be a path that uses landmarks, or it could be a verse that includes directions and distances. Make sure the start is easy to find, and the treasure is hidden somewhere where it won't be disturbed until the treasure hunters find it.

1. Use a piece of white paper and draw your map. Include the compass points and any verse or written clues needed by the hunters to find the treasure. Different colored inks work fine, some pencil crayons will work too.

2. Tear the edges off the page, to make it look like a treasure map.

3. When you map is finished, wipe the wet tea bag over both sides of the page. The page will turn a light brown color. The page should be soaked through by the time you are finished.

4. Crumple it into a ball and let dry over night.

5. Gently open the map, and wipe both sides with cooking oil. Blot off the excess with paper towels.

By this point, your treasure map should look hundreds of years old! Use your map for a treasure hunt or as a list for a scavenger hunt

Design a School Flag for Florence Roche:

Design a flag for Florence Roche School. Think of our school mascot (Giraffe). What colors will you use? What shapes and lines come to mind for your flag? You will create a school flag like every country has a different flag. You can get some examples of these flags on google. Look up flags of different countries and unusual flags people design. Have an adult help you.

Listen to Music you love:

Draw shapes, colors, and lines that match sounds you hear, the rhythm, and the mood it sets . How does the music make you feel? What would the music look like to you on paper?

Go on a hunt outside/inside for textures.

Take a walk outside or around your house. See how many different textures you can find. Some examples would be bumpy, soft, rough, Create a crayon rubbing on paper over some texture items you find.

Create anything of your choice.

Maybe you have a particular interest in creativity that you already enjoy doing. Maybe you weave, or love to use paint, or shaving cream to paint, using playdough or clay, using fabric to sew something, be an architect and use legos or blocks and create a structure or cut pictures out of magazines and create a collage.

JUST HAVE FUN........Love...Mrs. Goddard
