It was like Homecoming for me today--got to go to my favorite idea-generating store near my office--Big Lots. I've had withdrawal over the summer since I was in the habit of cruising their aisles at least once a month.
Looking for materials to use with students I saw a skein of soft, variegated color baby binkie yarn and my brain started churning--how about getting started on that string art idea from last year with the high school class for students with autism? Tonight the idea percolated a bit further and I thought, "How about having the art students draw a bold picture of something related to the school, and then the students in the autism class could set in the tiny nails and begin weaving the yarn into a string art picture?" Talk about good PR for special education at the school. Well, I can dream.
The beauty of all this which makes it somewhat do-able is that one of the teachers for students with autism is also an artist. She can make it happen. If it does happen, I'll post photos of the process.
