Art Show 2010


Colin and Mommy next to his blue and yellow painting.

Colin's school hosted its annual children's art show last night. We didn't realize what a production this was. The teachers stayed late the night before arranging the "galleries" with explanations of the skills being developed, the kids made snacks the day of. Colin's class made chocolate covered pretzels with sprinkles. Everyone gets dressed up and views the art. It's a bit chaotic with kids everywhere!

Colin had several pieces on display. His tissue paper collage made it into the lobby display! His artist statement, "I pushed hard". Hmmm...interesting. Yes, I see.

Asian influence?

Flowers?

Dancing Shrimp?


Some the kids' pieces were really very good. A three year old in his class did a great still life of a banana and an apple. It's easy to see how much the kids in his class love their teachers Annie and Jackie. Colin didn't want to leave their side. They were practicing bowing and curtsying earlier that day. Colin liked to bow all the way to the floor.
