I have had several requests from teachers about what project have
sold good and looked great on our products.
Well here are the standard suggestions I have for everyone.
#1 Most Important -- USE BRIGHT COLORS!
2. We prefer 8 1/2" x 11" art but we can accept up to 11" x 17". If
you use larger paper then 11" x 17" then the please only have the
students draw in an area 11" x 17" Anything larger than that the
edges of the picture will be cut off.
I would suggest if you only have art paper to cut it half so you have
a piece of paper that is 9" x 12".
3. We do add a computer generated border for art that has
signatures on the edge of the picture.
4. Have the students sign their art. Do not have them sign
within 1" of the edge of your paper. I know teachers are worried
students will not be satisfied with their signature so they have them
sign it first then draw their picture.
5. Remember most of you have your orders set to deliver
before a holiday season so include that holiday in your orders.
6. Animals, self-portraits, family scenes, flowers, fish, student's
copies of master pieces such as Starry Night, Georgia O'keeffe
have had great success.
7. What medium? Crayons, pastels, oils, water colors,
8. What to avoid?
a. Red and black construction paper! They do not scan as true
black and red they come out as muddy grey and dirty pink.
b. Do not have students put important details within one inch of
the edge such as their signature or the date.

This was a super fast and easy
project. Stamps made from
sponges and vegetables. Use
an assembly line approach.
Have the kids walk through and
stamp their bouquet. At
another stop they can draw the
stems.
