Holiday Art and Crafts, Part II
Our new CD includes the entire Web site and ten art/reuse activities that are not available online. Many of the projects show how to make gifts, which will be appropriate for birthdays and specific holidays such as Mother's Day, Father's Day, Chanukah, Kwanzaa, and Christmas. Others are more of a seasonal nature. For example, printmaking with leaves is a good fall activity, and learning how to make a Pop Art book is a fun end-of-camp or school project.

What do yesterday's newspaper, vintage jewelry, and old jeans have in common? All can be reused to make art and fine crafts. Presented by Marilyn Brackney, creator of The Imagination Factory, this hands-on workshop will allow you to partner with teachers and others who work with children to spread your reduce, reuse, and recycle message.

The Art of Reuse Workshop
with Marilyn Brackney

The workshop is designed for presentation by school corporations and solid waste management facilities. Class participants learn to reuse solid waste materials to make quality art and crafts, as they discover how the practice helps save money, natural resources, and landfill space.

We'll talk about community sources of free, preconsumer and postconsumer waste, and I'll show many examples of art and crafts created from solid waste, as well as visual aids that help demonstrate art and reuse. Activities can be adapted to fit your needs and the season in which the class is held.

While the workshop is intended for teachers and others who work with children in a school setting, attending can be beneficial to camp counselors, librarians, Girl and Boy Scout leaders, and people involved with Earth Day, 4-H, Boys & Girls Clubs, Big Brothers Big Sisters, YMCA, YWCA, and Junior Achievement.

For more information, contact Marilyn Brackney at kidatart@kid-at-art.com.

When a local manufacturer switched from glass to plastic containers, these clear, two-ounce bottles were taken to the recycling center. However, instead of crushing them, someone at the facility gave the bottles to us for reuse in art projects.    
The containers will be great for holding spices, vinegars, cookie decorations, tea, sugar, salt, pepper, honey, syrup, lotions, body oils, bubble bath, perfumes, colognes, shampoo, rubbing alcohol, conditioners, beads, ink, dyes, sand art, straight pins, glitter, paint, confetti, toothpicks, matches, flowers, and anything else you can imagine!   sculpy covered bottles
