Art Guidelines

Showcase your art program, bring joy to families, and knock your fundraiser out-of-the-park with high-impact art!

Please use the 8” x 10” paper provided by Art to Remember in your Starter Kit.

Artwork can be vertical or horizontal.
If using your own art paper, choose a good mixed-media paper to prevent tearing or curling, rectangular dimensions (close to
4:5 aspect ratio), and no larger than 12” x 19”.
White paper surface is the ideal surface for your students’ masterpieces; colored paper can wash out when scanned.

Guided or themed projects have a much higher impact than free choice!

Choose grade-specific themes that feature a large main idea as the central focus.
Use bold, eye-catching colors that fill the page edge-to-edge, minimizing
white space.
Subject matter with proven success: nature themes, pets, landscapes or wildlife
that reflect your area, nostalgia items (e.g., gumball machines), in primary ages
self-portraits or family portraits.

Markers, crayons, watercolor, tempera paint, acrylic paint, and paint sticks are GREAT options for showcasing vibrant art!

Please seal oil or chalk pastels with a fixative like Krylon matte finish.
For collage art, be sure all pieces are well glued, so they don’t fall o during shipping or scanning.
To maximize the size of artwork, don’t use mats or borders. Note that staples will show up on scans and reproductions.
Avoid incomplete projects, art that extends beyond the edge of paper, and light-colored pencil or crayon.
• Some materials create unwanted shadow or glare when art is scanned. Please no lamination, foil, glitter, sand, salt, or 3D objects
(e.g., googly eyes, feathers, yarn).

Parents appreciate seeing their child’s name on art!

Be sure to keep names 1” away from edge of paper as slight cropping occurs on
some products.
To keep things organized, record student name, grade, and teacher in pencil on
the back of art.
A x student labels from Art to Remember to the back of finished artwork.
If you put the label on too soon, its outline might show through on the front as
students are drawing.
