Janet ( Ms. Malone's Art Room ) & I are heading up a GREEN ART professional development day! We were very tempted to just do art projects in the color green with no eco-friendly anything! :) HA HA
Here are links & such I've found in my preparation for the day. I hope you all find it useful/interesting.
- PINTEREST is a great place to get started!! However, make sure you are finding the things that will work for your student population, resources you can get hold of with ease, and projects that fit within your time frame! Here is the link to my green/recycled board on Pinterest. http://www.pinterest.com/tededinger/project-ideas-recycled
- DICK BLICK ART has a great deal of information concerning their green efforts as well as green products! I love the information and links they have here!!! http://www.dickblick.com/green
