In February I helped my student Bailey enter a national art contest: All Kids Can Create sponsored by VSA and CVS Caremark. Bailey's art was entered online through the site Artsonia.
With over 4,700 entries we were both excited to learn that Bailey's beautiful picture "Panda" was a finalist for the state of Pennsylvania. Her drawing was one of 4 from the state of Pennsylvania to make it to the final contest.
In April, we were notified that Bailey's drawing was to be included in the national exhibit. Her drawing and one other had been selected to represent our state in the exhibit at Union Station in Washington D.C. The exhibit opens on June 13, 2011.102 pieces of art total will be on display.
I am so proud of Bailey and her dedication!
