OUR ANNUAL STUDENT ART EXHIBIT
Each year we have a student art exhibit. Each child that comes to classes at the studio get to pick their favorite piece of work that they created that year. We clean the studio, paint the walls, put the tables out back, get food, and hang all their work. It's a great evening for everyone (parents, grandparents, kids, friends, etc...). This year we have 100 children that take weekly art classes from us, all of our classes are full, so our turnout was amazing.
The friday before the show we spent the day taking off all the pieces we had hung on the wall, patching all the little holes (from the hundred of pushpins) and painting the walls. We also cleaned everything and painted and spiffed up the bathroom. On Saturday we hung all the pieces (well, Bruce hung the pieces). The show was on Sunday. We had about 300 people come through. The show was only for 2 hours.
I took some pictures of some of the pieces that were in the show....they are all amazing and I can't put all of them on, so here are just a few for your viewing pleasure. The kids that did these range from 5-15.
Don't they do great work! It helps when you have a great teacher and Bruce is the best - his lessons are amazing and the kids no only learn the fundamentals of drawing & painting but are able to be creative and expressive too. We will miss the kids when we go, but know they'll continue to do amazing work with Travis.
What a nice idea! I am sure everyone loves it.

This took me back to when my daughter was small and in various art classes. I was always so impressed with the depth of ability you could find at such a young age! There's some beautiful work here, some that I would buy and frame! PS-my daughter took her degree in fine art ... she's a lovely painter, among other things!
