Every year, I'm even more impressed with the arts festival that the school division organizes. The art teachers at all of the school pick a theme, create school-wide projects to display, put together make-and-take crafts, and select and display student work. We were lucky enough to have Grandma in town to join us for the arts fest. She got to see the kids' artwork on display and see Brady perform with his school chorus and the all-county chorus.
The boys' elementary school project was "Dr. Heard's Herd," with this pattern elephant. Each kid created a "zen doodle" (free doodle, basically), which the art teacher then cut into four smaller squares. She glued those onto the foam board elephant. Brady even found his square on the ear!
UPDATE, 5/12/14 - The elementary school had a separate arts walk, prior to the second and third grade performance. We found both pieces from the county arts festival as well as Rudy's self portrait and Brady's still life. In addition to Rudy's class musical, the other highlight of the night was when Brady was recognized as the winner of the school Reflections art contest for his graphic design piece, "Islands."
