Hey co-op kids aged from one to one hundred and nine (110 year old’s need not apply) there is a new art club that you can join if you’d wish. The Blue Apple Kids Art Collective has a mailbox in the V of the tree beside the bench of our little local library and if you have the time you can take the time to put your art in the mailbox. It will then be viewed and some thoughts will be shared back to you and maybe you just might get prizes too! This is only for kids who love or are interested in art class.
Here’s how it works:
• Once or twice a month (maybe more if you kids dig it) we will post an art project on the website and the Facebook page with a start and end date. You will have until that date to drop your art project off in the blue apple mailbox.
• You don’t even have to leave your name on your art, but make sure you leave your unit number.
• After that date your art art will be returned to you with a message and perhaps a prize too in your own mailbox at your unit.
• Your masterpieces will be returned to you in the exact same way that they were when they were delivered to the mail box but your art may be used or replicated to create more art so know that other folks outside of the coop might see your masterpieces someday.
So if you like to write or draw or paint or appreciate the postal service then I think this club is for you.
Here’s your first project:
Draw or paint or write about your favorite mammal. It might be a cat or a whale or my favorite mammal which is a “knotted back carpet shark” which is a mammal that lives in the sea and in carpeted living rooms and only eats barbecue brushes. Imagine that!
This project starts on October 1 and the deadline for dropping your art off is October 9.
I can’t wait to find out about what you kids can imagine. So let’s have fun and art.
