Oil Drum Art (Grades 3-12)
Make a statement about our environment. Students create designs and paint oil drums with the theme of ecology – things that will
help keep our environment clean and thriving. Oil drums can be used as containers to store items in the classroom, or receptacles for recycling. Children create their designs which are transferred on to the oil drum by the artist. The children then paint the banners in a workshop under the direction of the artist. Oil drums come in different sizes – 10 gallon drums are recommended for schools. The oil drums used for painting are clean and new and come in sizes of 55 gallon, 40 gallon and 10 gallon drums.
Banner Art (Grades 3-12)
Groups will create hand painted banner art with a theme to be
displayed in a public place. Banner Art creates community and
cooperation through children working together to paint designs
made and agreed upon by the group. Banners can be made to make a
statement, create an atmosphere with a theme for dances, book fairs,
school programs, etc., and are great for set designs or backgrounds
for theater presentations. All designs are created by the children and
transferred on to the banner by the artist. The children will then paint
the banners in a workshop under the direction of the artist. Banners
are 6 feet by 3 feet and can be painted on one side or back and front.
They can be hung inside the building or outside. Frames can also be
purchased.
