Personalized Art Keepsakes for Every Occasion
Art projects provide a creative outlet for self-expression and individuality for children at every age! And by turning their artwork into a personalized keepsake with Art to Remember, teachers and parents can help students showcase their personality and style in unique and meaningful ways. With the right art lesson and plenty of occasions to celebrate year-round, students can put their own creative stamp on all types of keepsakes.
Art to Remember Holiday Projects and Keepsakes
No matter when a teacher might be thinking of kickstarting their classroom fundraiser, we have art projects and keepsakes that are sure to fit the theme. These are just a few of our favorite suggestions for each holiday season.
Valentine’s Day
Art teachers can encourage participation with their fundraisers and spread the love for art by promoting a Valentine’s Day theme at the start of the school year. A simple shape masking art lesson can be great for helping younger students practice working with different tools and mediums. Consider sticking with heart-shaped crafts. These projects can then become functional keepsakes like note journals or photo frames.
Springtime
Springtime fundraisers can focus on all things nature-themed. Whether that’s drawing flowers or learning how to create patterns with this rainy day umbrella art lesson, students can explore all sorts of color schemes that will make their final keepsakes stand out.
Mother’s Day and Father’s Day
Parents can also be reminded that their Art to Remember keepsakes make great Mother’s Day and Father’s Day gifts! Whenever teachers are thinking of doing a fundraiser toward the end of the school year, marketing their program with these themes in mind can be a smart choice. We love seeing handprint art for parent and grandparent gifts. But there are also plenty of projects that work great for keepsake coffee mugs. Educators can help parents plan ahead with their gift-giving by emphasizing that in your lesson theme.
Thanksgiving
The changing autumn leaves can be a source of inspiration for one-of-a-kind projects all throughout the fall season. We even have an autumn-themed apple picking art lesson to introduce one-point perspective. Another option for students is to work with the actual theme of “giving thanks.” They can create a piece of artwork centered around something they’re especially grateful for—whether that’s a special toy, a close friend, or time with their family. Those feelings can help guide their process as they create a new piece of art!
Winter and Christmas
Popular products for the winter season are often keepsake ornaments and custom cards. Of course, parents can order any type of product year-round, but it might be helpful to put the spotlight on these choices when the fundraiser is happening toward the end of the calendar year. Then teachers can top things off with a winter scene art project or something memorable like a self portrait art lesson to commemorate the year!
The possibilities are endless. As an art teacher, it’s all about helping your students express their creative side and learn new skills. With a successful fundraiser, you can put new funds toward even more resources for your classroom to enjoy throughout the year. Art to Remember is here to help.
