fold a piece of paper in half, (hotdog) and have the kids write theyre names in blcokletters, big and all the letters connecting. then cut out the outline, and unfold the paper, and then you can glues and such onto it, and you made a creature out of your name!!

What about a crazy/fun picture of the band in a nice frame?  That would be personal and he/she'd be impressed at the secrecy it took to get everyone together for a photo!\n\nOr if you've got a crafty group, have each person make a page for a scrapbook. The scrapbook can have favorite memories and thank you's.\n\nI'm a teacher and I love that kind of stuff.\n\nOf course, if you're just talking about a single gift, and not a group gift, you know your director better than anyone.  Musically themed stuff is pretty easy to find.

I'd recommend trying to sell your art work over the internet.  Get someone to help you set up a website or look for a group of international artists that you can join in their website.

Make one yourself.  Use MS Paint or if you're really feeling fancy, Photoshop.  Of course, then you'll have to host it somewhere...

I teach preschool, and art is consistently one of my children's favorite things to do.  The trick to to have a ton of variety.  Here are a few of my children's favorites!\n\nPaint with: feathers, shoe laces, golf balls, leaves, spoons, forks, fingers, toothbrushes, combs, and feet\n\nCollages with: twigs, buttons, felt pieces, tissue paper, leaves, tin foil, newspaper, magazine pictures, and puzzle pieces\n\nTissue paper painting - Put a piece (small, large, whatever you want) of tissue paper onto a piece of thick paper (construction paper works well).  Then, "paint" over the tissue paper with water.  Lift the tissue paper, and view the results!\n\nCoffee filter art - There are two ways to do this.  1) Color on a coffee filter with washable markers.  Then, spray with water from a squirt bottle.  Watch the colors blend.  2) Use watercolors (I like liquid watercolors from Discount School Supply) and paint them onto the coffee filters.  Watch the colors blend!\n\nShaving cream art - mix with paint and/or glue for a unique sensory experience.  Then, finger paint with it!\n\nI hope that you find some ideas that you and your children will enjoy!

get pictures for reference (from the library or internet) then use modeling clay and wire (like metal coat hanger for support) build a skeleton from the wire (if it is a statue of a person or animal use the wire to make a "stick man" the form the clay around it and try to match the shape in the pictures you have

Well, you can start by enrolling her in some classes for young people. As she goes through school encourage her to take the classes they offer there. If you see that she continues to enjoy art, she can have a chance at art school. Until then, a website is good but there is a chance of others trying to claim her artwork. Have her enter local art shows and fairs. She'll see what it's like to do that and it will possibly encourage her to do more.
