We are inviting the whole family to participate in Display My Art. This is a special art project that can turn your artistic drawing in to a beautiful keepsake and special gift for the holidays or any occasion. While your child is drawing in school we invite everyone at home (parents, grandparents, siblings) to get involved and create their own special work of art. You will receive a free magnet* with your order featuring your own artwork. All original artwork will be returned to the school.

Follow these easy steps to submit art work from home.

Important Tips for creating artwork

     Use:

• Bold color markers, hi-lighters to fill in large white areas, crayons, paints, colored pencils using dense coverage and borders.

• For best results art work should fill the page and very little white should be left.

     Please Do Not Use:

• tiny details, cut-outs, stickers, glue, glue stick, layered paper

• Neon or florescent color paper or markers

• No metallic or glitter products

• Nothing that “sticks out” from the paper (3D)

• No sparsely or lightly colored drawings
