Gimme! Gimme! Gimme!
I need your Lucky Charms and Cocoa Puffs! In an attempt not to spend money on something that people likely have lying in their recycling bins anyhoo, I need the cardboard from the cereal boxes. If you are a voting member of team Cheerio -you know who you are- be so bold as to bring in your EMPTY box and I will reward the winning class with something goofy that they think is important. Like Pictionary. The sooner the better!!
Thanks!
Art Lit meeting on Thursday at 8:30 a.m.

Animal Art Coloring Contest
DOODLE 4 GOOGLE ART CONTEST!!!!!!!!!!
* …Become a doctor with my own TV show.
* …Invent rocket shoes that let you fly.
* …Open a zoo for the world’s endangered animals.
Welcome to Doodle 4 Google, a competition where we invite K-12 students to use their artistic talents to think big and redesign Google’s homepage logo for millions to see. At Google, we believe that dreaming about future possibilities leads to tomorrow’s leaders and inventors, so this year we're inviting U.S. kids to exercise their creative imaginations around the theme, "What I’d like to do someday…"
Whether students want to find a cure for cancer or take a trip to the moon, it all starts with art supplies and some 8.5" x 11" paper. And, one lucky student artist will take home a $15,000 college scholarship and $25,000 technology grant for their school, among many other prizes.
Registration closes at 11:59:59 p.m. Pacific Time (PT) on March 2, 2011, and entries must be postmarked by March 16, 2011 11:59:59 p.m. Pacific Time (PT). The winning doodle will be featured on our Google.com homepage on May 20, 2011.
New! Changes to Doodle 4 Google in 2011
* Parents Can Register Their Kids: This year, based on your feedback, we are expanding the contest. Now, in addition to schools, parents and legal guardians can directly register their K-12 students in the contest and submit their doodles. Check with your child’s school or After School Programs first to see if they are participating, since we only allow one entry per student. As always, public, private and home schools can register on behalf of their students.
* After School Programs: We are working with two After School Programs: Boys & Girls Clubs of America and Girl Scouts of the USA to register students.
* No Cap On Doodles Per School: There is no cap on how many doodles each school, After School Program, or family can send in. Just remember, only one doodle per child.
* A Variety Of Guest Judges: This year, a group of guest judges, including Whoopi Goldberg, Actress/Comedian/TV Talk Show Host, Jim Davis, Creator of "Garfield", and Evan Lysacek, Gold Medalist for Ice Skating, and several other well known cartoonists, animators and illustrators will help judge the contest and attend the final awards ceremony to personally congratulate our winner

Wrong handed portraits
Much to their giggles, students in fifth grade were asked to draw their friend's face with their less dominant hand this morning. Righties drawing with the left, left handed folks with their right hand. This lesson is designed to help them get over their fear of not making a "perfect" drawing. As an exercise to loosen them up and encourage them to try new things, the lesson was unnerving for most but fun as well. To mix things up, I made them draw not only their friends of the same gender, but the opposite as well. The results were AWESOME! Some really cool line drawings emerged.
Might be something fun to try with the family after dinner tonight...
