Jaiden and Alexis also received a second place with a chalk landscape and
jellyfish batik.
As the year winds down and we
start sorting artwork to send home with the kids we try to put as many of them
on artsonia as possible. Please check us out at https://www.artsonia.com/schools/school.asp?id=36412.
I try to convince the kids to take their portfolios home and set up an art
gallery in the living room and share their favorite works with parents,
grandparents and friends. Honor’s Night is coming up and I will be recognizing
my 7-12th grade art students and their accomplishments this year. This year I
have added an artist of the month recognition to continue to encourage
creativity, effort and confidence in their abilities. March Artist of the month
is Daisy Kanode and April Artist of the month goes to Dylan Bonds. Besides
being extremely big help at family art night, Daisy’s artist reproduction and
keynote presentation were top notch. Dylan is often using his work time
efficiently and creating original ideas for his work. This year as an Art I
student he has challenged himself with a very detailed batik, he is also
creating a plaster relief that is unique.
