Printable Projects - Week 2
Need a screen time break? Check out our Printable Projects series: a compilation of downloadable, printable art and writing resources for students in Elementary, Middle and High School. The Eastern Iowa Arts Academy provided these projects to Cedar Rapids Community School District students through the meal distribution sites to families without internet access. This is the second week of materials provided the week of May 4th.
How to Make Paint for Elementary
This simple recipe to make paint at home, uses ingredients you probably already have at home.
Gratitude Writing Prompts for Elementary
K-5 students will love these gratitude based daily writing prompts.
Providing support for encouraging creativity
These prompts are designed to draw out your students' creativity. Remember, there are no wrong answers! If your student has trouble getting started or gets stuck, ask questions and provide encouragement. Remember the responses to the prompts can be about a made up world of their own imagining. When your child has completed a project have them share it after dinner, or before bed time. A vital step in the art making process is sharing your work, which is key to fostering self-confidence and gives your student the opportunity to shine!

Create a beautiful piece of art using different shades of the same color in this simple art challenge.
Gratitude Writing Prompts for Middle School
Use the prompts to take a moment each day to write about things you're grateful for.
Providing support for encouraging creativity
While art making and creative writing are both inherently rewarding, the product is only part of the goal. Getting lost in the process just for the fun of it is valuable on its own. Remember, there are no wrong answers!
