Bookmarks as an art project


To encourage good reading habits and book marking students were encouraged to think of a creative way to make a bookmark. They were given a box of goodies to choose from, tinsel, al-foil, coloured plastics, strings, wool, ribbons, card, paints, textas, pencils, glitter, beads, buttons and more. The idea was to see how efficient students were at choosing the correct materials for their project. Some chose beads to glue on their bookmark and soon found why it was inappropriate. It was a very thought provoking art lesson for some students... back to art projects
