RE: [teacherartexchange] Middle School
From: Arthur, Michelle (marthur_at_TeacherArtExchange)
Our budget is shrinking as well- if fact- my job as an arts gifted specialist is being cut- I have sent out letters to parents requesting donations of supplies that they no longer use. If you want it- contact me directly and I can send them to you. I have had numerous items donated and my students are on 75% free and reduced lunch.
Some suggestions on a class- What about Papier-mâché and Paper making products- origami, mask making, paper jewelry, actual paper making with newspapers, all with a cultural twist- how different cultures use the art medium of paper or a humanities class that covers several types of art forms integrated- we are being creative in our district as well. Just a thought.

AS our budget is shrinking to nearly nothing next year, what could you suggest to do instead of a ceramics elective for 8th grade kids interested in art? We already have a drawing and painting, altered book and sculpture elective that we can probably continue....
