Elementary Art Show

Annual Elementary Art Show

I am pleased to announce the Third Annual Elementary Art Show-March 21-25, 2011.

The exhibit will feature art work from all three schools in our district.  For that reason, not every student will be represented in the show.  That would be almost 3,000 pieces of art that we would have to hang in one day!  Yikes, that is a lot of art work.  Although I wish that we could feature each student and each school individually; it is simply not possible.

What we (the elementary art teachers) have decided to do is to include each student in 1st grade.  At some point in each child's elementary experience he or she will have something on display.  Next year will we include all students in 1st grade and all students in 4th grade. 

Every year we fund raise to help support our elementary art collections.  This year one of the art teachers in our district has designed a t-shirt.  It features replicas of famous works of art in black printed on a white shirt.  This is an interactive project.  Students and parents may pre-order the t-shirt during the art show and I will deliver the shirts to the students in class.  When the shirts are delivered, students will have a chance to hand color the images using fabric markers.  Each shirt will be $10.00 and can only be ordered at the art show.  I will have examples of the shirts on display in my classroom next week for each child to see. 

Invitations and fliers about the art shirt will go home with students in the next week or two.  I hope that parents and students will come out and support the elementary art program.
