I’m so excited to introduce something brand new on my blog! I’m calling them “Art Kits”, and it’s super easy to be entered into a drawing to win one.
Each Art Kit is valued at over $100.00, and includes everything you see in the photo above, as well as an easy to follow, step-by-step lesson plan and 50 sheets of white drawing paper — And it can be YOURS for FREE!
I’ll be giving away a kit exactly like the one you see pictured above, every three months for the next year — that’s four kits in all! This is called Art Kit #1: Observational Drawing: Sea Shells. In addition to all of the fun stuff you see in the photo, you’ll also get a step-by-step lesson plan that you can use in your classroom immediately. (No art experience on your part is required or necessary.)
Students of all ages will love looking through their magnifying glasses to see a detailed view of any one of the interesting shells included. The lesson plan will walk you through an easy to present lesson that will encourage your students to carefully observe a shell and then create an original drawing of what they see. Soft lead pencils and special erasers will help them get their drawings “just right”. They will be thrilled to then add color with chalk using the ordinary blending tools of cotton balls and Q-tips! In addition to the excitement of creating art, you’ll see lots of valuable curriculum connection possibilities for your students in science, math, and language arts.
Here’s how to win!
1) Register for one or more of the affordable, convenient, self-paced Professional Development Art Classes that I teach through Fresno Pacific University here. Each registration will earn you 6 Entries into the Art Kit drawing.
2) Refer a colleague who registers for one or more of my courses and you’ll earn another 6 Entries into the Art Kit drawing. (I must be notified via email of the name of the person who made the referral in order for them to be given their 6 entries for that referral.)
3) Comments on my blog or Facebook page will each earn 1 entry into the Art Kit drawing. (Only one comment per person, per day will count towards entry into the drawing.)
Registrations, referrals, and comments will earn entry into the Art Kit drawings based on the following time table:
April-May-June: Winner’s name drawn on July 1, 2013
July-August-September: Winner’s name drawn on October 1, 2013
October-Nov-Dec: Winner’s name drawn on January 1, 2014
January-February-March: Winner’s name drawn on April 1, 2014
As you can see above, I’m breaking the year into quarters with April-May-June being the first block of time for the first Art Kit drawing. So for example, all course registrations received, colleagues referred & registered, and comments made from April 1, 2013 until June 30, 2013 will be included, and I will draw the winning name on July 1, 2013. Then the process begins again for July-August-September and so on, until the fourth and final Art Kit winner is drawn on April 1, 2014.
So what are you waiting for? Head on over to Fresno Pacific University and register for one of my art classes! Then get a friend or colleague to do the same! While you’re on a roll, comment on any of my blog posts or head on over to my Facebook page and get typing! You can’t win one of these great kits if you don’t enter… so get going and get excited!

I would love to get my students excited about this art kit!!
That’s awesome Jenna! I think your students would LOVE the stuff in this kit! (And your comment today just got you entered to win it!) Come back again to read, write, and get entered again! 🙂
This is a very cool idea! I try to get my students to “draw what they see, not what they know” when they are doing observational drawings. This is a great way to enforce that. The magnifying glasses are a great addition. I would love to win this kit!
Thanks Amy! I’m excited about giving these kits away — I think they’ll be a great addition to any classroom. Consider yourself entered to win!
What a kind gift for your students! It would be cool to have kids draw what they see, then have another student write about what another student drew…hmm, compelling!
I’m glad you’re excited about the Art Kits, Rebecca. I love your idea for bringing some writing into the art mix! Terrific! (By the way… your comment on my blog just earned you an entry into the drawing!)
My grandkids would love it if I won! Thanks for the opportunity for earning a chance at winning!!!
You bet Becky! I’m sure your grandkids would love this kit too! I’ve entered you in the drawing — good luck!

Thanks for the visit and for commenting, Allison. I would love it if you would win this Art Kit — I know your students (and YOU!) would have so much fun with it.
