Calendar Art time has rolled around again. We know that many families look forward to having their calendars, diaries and cards to give to family and friends as gifts. As we are not at school on-site, we are going to have to organise things a little differently this year.
We invite you to support your child to produce a piece of artwork at home that can be used for Calendar Art. At this stage, we are just asking you to create the artwork and once we know more about the timing of Alert Level changes we will give you further information about how to share the artwork. In all cases though, the art will need to be completed by Wednesday 22 September.
This activity is entirely optional and can be done by those families who wish to buy the resulting products. It is a fundraiser for the school, though, so any support is appreciated.
There are a few practical guidelines you need to know:
The end product must be 2D and be printable. This could, however, mean a photo of a 3D project.
The printing paper is slightly smaller than an A4.
Here is a link if you want to print one out
The white space measures 18.5cm x 29.5cm
Bright, bold pictures work out best - but not highlighters
If drafting in pencil, don’t press too hard, as the indentation from the rubbed out lines will often ‘scan in’ to the picture.
Your child’s name and room number and age needs to be on the back (lightly) in pencil
