Silent Auction Canvas Art

If it’s April then my school’s silent auction can’t be far away. After years of trying different approaches, I think the art above is what I will stay with. It’s still my Sharpie Self Portraits project, but the great thing is finding these value packs of stretched canvas at Aaron Bros and Michaels. A 16" x 20" pack of 5 costs just $25. So for $5 plus the cost of any Sharpies, you can make a class project that is sure to be a hit. I made a grid of 25 with a 3.2" x 4" rectangles, which allows a nice size for kids to color, but doesn’t make something so large that parents have trouble hanging it. So, ten classrooms down, twelve more to go...
