My computer was only out of commission for like four days and I feel like I haven't been able to do email or post to my journal in a month at least. I so need a life. :P
Anywho! I have exciting news but that shall wait for another post. This one is just a few pictures from the annual Art Show that my center has to earn money for the Bright Spaces were attempting to open up. For those that don't know a Bright Spaces is basically a center inside a shelter that provides safe, quality, care for children while their parents are out looking for jobs and stuff like that. I think we needed to earn like $600 more dollars to open one...not 100% sure though.
So! The show is really great, each classroom picks an artist or a project and all the kids do it. For the older kids practice with what their teachers picked (like last year Preschool Two did pop art and Campbell soup cans) and then eventually they do their final project. Even the infants get involved! I love it because the arts are so important to me, as several of you know my Mother was an art teacher and my brother is an artist. He's going to school right now to learn how to teach photography to high schoolers.
Anyway...without further ado...here are the pictures!
This is from the Two's room, the did artwork in the style of Jackson
Pollock. The large canvas is a classroom effort while the smaller ones
belong to the individual children.
More Two's! I took all these for Mary Kay cause she forgot her camera and because I think they were awesome pictures!
Once again! Two's!
One more picture of the Two's art. I've got to ask Mare how she did
this...I'd love to give it a shot with Ed on a nice summer day when we
can work outside.
This is from Infant A, because they have the younger infants (the ones
who can't crawl or are just learning to move on their own like rolling
over and such) they choose to do body paint with the children and then
contribute photographs of the kids of the silent auction.
In Infant B the children are able to sit up, some crawl, two or three
of them actually walk! So they had more to do with their project.What
they did was use bingo markers to paint on this really interesting
dropcloth material.
Preschool One worked with print making, here Tony stands by his
artwork...the one with brown, yellow, tan, and blue. He's a buddy of
mine, gives wonderful hugs, ain't he adorable?
Preschool Two used clay to make statues. I especially enjoyed "Spider-Man" and "James the train".
This is Mary Kay, she's a Two's teacher, a great friend, and looks really good in that blouse.
Teacher artwork! Mine is the black one with white specks and blobs of color. It was supposed to be nebula in a feild of stars.
More teacher artwork! Mary Kay did the red and blue one in the upper
left hand corner and the one that looks like an oil spill is my second
one. It got a $10 bid! At lest that's what it was at when I was leaving.
I didn't get a picture of the Toddler artwork because I was in a rush
to get to my knitting lesson... :: pout :: But their project was very
nice. The Toddler's themselves took pictures and then those pictures
were developed in black and white. They were really amazing looking.
Hope you enjoyed the pictures!
