Note: A great First Session for any group or age range can include students making their own art portfolios – a place for you to keep their art all term long, making the last day take home really impressive.
Use the large cardstock and duct tape for this craft. For students in JK through grade 3, Instructors should prep the folios with the tape before class and allow students to personalize, avoiding a “tape-madness” situation.
