Art Club Painted Ceiling Tiles

I do an after school art club during the late fall and winter months. The last two years we've been using the club to try and spruce up our school a bit. My first session of kids painted ceiling tiles for our front and main hallways. I let the kids paint whatever they wanted, as long as they did a practice drawing and showed me first. I love seeing what they come up with when they have the freedom to just paint. Love how these turned out!

Bee Mural

My last session of art club helped me to jazz up the art room. We are the Baird Bees, so I thought why not paint the drab white walls with some school spirit. I used an overhead projector to project the bee image for my kiddos to trace. They painted and did a great job! I love how it looks...now the art room looks a little more arty!

Giant Flowers

I found this on Pinterest originally, but it was linked to someone's blog. (I forget who's, sorry!) I made these with art club to help decorate for our spring concert coming up. They turned out so awesome! Bigger is better!

Clay Pouches

Clay Heart Plaques

Another Jim Dine project. I did these with one 4th grade class at one of my schools, and with my art club kids.

Art Club Candle Holders

This was a quick and easy art club project we did when we finished one project and only had about 30 minutes left of one session. I bought candle holders at the dollar store and an illustrated fairy tail book at Goodwill. The students ripped out some illustrations they liked and cut to fit the candle holder. Then they modge podged the paper onto the candle holder. They could also add ribbon if they wanted. They look really cool lit up in the dark.

Art Club Felt Birds

I started an art club this year at my home school for grades 3-5. I thought it would be nice to offer some enrichment for those students who love art and crafting. We made these adorable felt birds that I saw on Pinterest. They took about 2 sessions to make. They did a great job with the whip stitch sewing part. I love doing sewing projects, but it is always hectic large classes because no one can get their needle threaded, or there are knots to untie. This is perfect for a small group!
