Grace had been telling me that her art teacher put a picture of hers into an art show, but I never received anything about it so any info I received came from the mouth of a 7 year old. Well we discovered this week that it was in the district-wide art show for Westfield schools. I don't know how many people from each school got entered, but I know there we only two kids out of Grace's class of 20 who had entries (there were entries from every school from Kindergarten through seniors at the high school). Anyway, today was the last day of the show so Alex and I stopped by for a minute to check it out. Unfortunately I didn't realize there were night hours earlier in the week, so poor Jim didn't get to see it.
Sweet Alex wanted me to take a picture of him next to his sister's artwork, without me even suggesting it.
Grace's penguin picture on display. That's a fish in the penguin's mouth, and the little things to the right of the bird are not penguin poops but footprints (I got a "No Mom!" with a big 7 year old eye roll when I suggested the poops).
Alex and I looked at a lot of the art, and he likes a lot of the paintings and drawings. But of course the oversized sculptures were the most exciting.
This was my favorite. Truly show-stopping to me. I would have gotten a closer shot, but wanted Alex in the picture for perspective on how big it was. Beautiful rendition of Van Gogh's Sunflowers.
Alex wanted a picture with the big Coke bottle, though I'm not sure he knew what it was because I don't think he's actually seen a glass Coke bottle.
Funny boy acted out the poses for the big Keith Haring cutouts, but wouldn't do it for the camera.
Alex's favorite piece. A big fishbowl made out of saran wrap wrapped around bent wires, with seaweed twisting up in it and fish (which you can't see here) dangling in it.
