Amick and E.T. the Librarian love receiving mail. In fact, Amick checks his mail box every day hoping there are postcards waiting for him! Club Amick is running a contest to see which member sends the most postcards over the school year.
 
Remember, art can be more than just drawing or colouring. Here are some ideas you can try:

• Use a photograph you have taken or make a collage of photos

• Write us a poem or rhyme and put it on your postcard

• Use the current Club Amick theme to inspire your art

• Make a craft that represents your culture and send it, or a photo of your craft

Don’t forget that you can practice art in different ways in your life too! You can make up a play and perform it for friends and family. How about collecting things from the natural world to include in your crafts, like painting beautiful stones to make a miniature rock garden?
 
Make sure to tell Club Amick and E.T. the Librarian about your projects too! An award and a prize will be given to the person who sends in the most postcards between September and March. Post Cards must be submitted by March 15, 2011.
