Art Show 2011

One of our favorite events of the school year is the annual Art Show in the spring.  (-2010-, -2009-, -2008-, -2007-)  The art teachers save every project every student creates in art class (kindergarten through seniors) all year long, and they are displayed throughout the school for the Art Show.  Even in a tiny school like ours, it is pretty impressive!

As a kindergartener, this was Caeden's first year with projects in the Art Show.  He was so proud to show them to us!  His is the clown on the right...

Sylvia's American flag project

Trees in the style of Vincent Van Gogh...

Caedens is the 2nd down in the center

More kindergarten projects..

The yellow cow on the left is Caeden's, and the fingerpainting below the blank black space is his too.

Making targets in the style of Wassily Kandinsky has been a favorite project for all our kids!

Annah's piece (on yellow) in the style of Keith Haring...

Annah's cartoon person with crazy hair is in the center...

Annah won a 1st place ribbon for her Cuna Indian Mola.

I will have to ask Annah what artist these works are after.  Hers is in the center.

For almost every one of Annah's project for the year, she earned a ribbon.  Her poster in the style of Robert Indiana tied for 3rd.

The Van Gogh Starry Night craypa projects are a favorite at the art show every year.  There is always a crowd gathered around admiring them.  Annah received a 4th place ribbon for hers, which is right above the descriptive poster.

hallways full of beautiful art...

Sylvia said she is most proud of her Stuart Davis city collage, because it took her a really long time to make and she worked very hard on it!

While working on the Frank Gehry project, Sylvia reported her progress to us at home.  She loved designing several skyscrapers and having her teacher choose her favorite for her to use on the project.  She also enjoyed learning about printmaking.

Texture designs in the style of Joan Miro...

Caeden talked about Jackson Pollock a lot while working on his drip painting project.  It was exciting for him to get to use real "house paint" on a real canvas!

Sylvia's clay sculpture

Sylvia's Frank Stella beetle is right above the descriptive sign...

When we talked with Mrs. H., the art teacher, as we arrived at the show today, she told me that Annah had won LOTS of ribbons.  She said she felt like she had written Annah's name on every 4th grade project winner list.  We were surprised, but so pleased to see that!  

For both her clay coil pot and paper mache mask, Annah was the 1st place winner for her grade.

How nice for her to be rewarded for hard work in something she loves!
