Youth Art Show 2013

This year’s Youth Art Show was a once again a great success! As usual, I procrastinated until the last minute and stressed myself out a lot more than necessary. . .why, oh why, do I do that? But, it came together. It’s in the Fly Arts Center (a renovated turn-of-the-century factory) every year for a couple of hours on Sunday afternoon, and our numbers have grown steadily from a couple of hundred to over 1,500 this year. Every art teacher in our county brings student art to display; students, families, friends, faculties, etc. are invited.

I only wish every single educator and administrator in our dear system could see the raw talent we are blessed with. AND, I only wish we’d had our van Gogh-inspired paintings finished in time for the show. Oh, well — here’s some pics of the show along with students of mine I coerced into taking a photo with their artwork :). Hope you enjoy, and comments welcome!!
