Art Fair!

To cap off Noah's busy week, we got to attend the 1st Annual Art Fair at the school!  
It was a huge success! Their teacher, Miss McGee did an outstanding job organizing the event. It was a lot of fun and it was wonderful to see the entire gym packed with people. The photo below doesn't show how full it was at the peak of the fair. For a while it was hard to move around!
In addition to displaying two pieces of art from each student, she also had the students help create art to be sold at the silent auction. Each class had a piece of art. Here is a bowl made from the hands of all the 3rd graders. The winner of the auction will chose a glaze color and Miss McGee will complete the project.
The 1st grade art had a pop-art feel to it. Levi could identify some of the hands, but couldn't figure out which were his. :-)
She had several hands-on art activities for the kids to do, snacks, and a power point of kids and artwork rolling the entire time. Plus, the art department raised about $1000 on the auction!
It was lots of fun and the boys were proud of their artwork that was on display. What a wonderful way to support the school, art and celebrate what the kids have done!
