Make our Dreams Come True

12/9/2012

Just as the video above explained, you can help make Dryden Artists' wishes come true through our on-going fundraiser through Artsonia. They donate 20% of every purchase of customized items featuring your favorite artists' work back to Dryden's Art Program. Every child benefits and you will love their products! If you order before December 15th your item will arrive in time for the giving season. You can take advantage of their sale prizes and their promotional gift code for a bonus magnet with a purchase of $25 or more. Use the code: HOLIDAYFUNDS12.

Wouldn't these images look awesome on the Artsonia Snappables in the giftshop?
Students had the option of using my custom photo booth effect at the end of art classes to Santa-fy themselves for fun. Learn how I make custom FXs in this post.
Explore the Artsonia Giftshop here.
Find your child's artwork and view all our student work here.

Thank you for supporting our art program!

Santa Up Close and Abstracted

Third graders painted an up close and cropped portrait of Santa much like Andy Warhol's Santa image. Then they used the ipods to photograph and apply a customized effect using the Percolator App.
