WinterFest Time Lapse!

Our WinterFest art show in two minutes- so fun! Thanks, Hannah!

5th Annual WinterFest!

Thursday night was the opening for our annual WinterFest Art Show! Each elementary school in Lexington One provided ten of their best artworks for the show. The opening is always a great time- principals, district office personnel, parents, and art teachers all in one place to celebrate the successes of our students! The show will hang at Lexington's Old Mill until February 16th, so stop by and see the art on display! There are several great shops in the Old Mill, so be sure to check them out while you're there!

Enjoying the art displays!

Middle school orchestra students did a lovely performance!

Crunch Time

It's funny that my last post was about snow, because that's EXACTLY what happened. We missed all of last week because of the snowy/icy road conditions! So, we came back for a week after winter break, missed a week, and came back for a week. I feel like I can't catch up! 

In the next two weeks, I will be hanging two PES student art displays- one is at our district office and the other is our annual district-wide elementary art show, Winterfest!  On top of those, our PES Kids Art Fair is coming up in March. To say I've been pushing students to their limits this week would be an understatement. We've been working super hard to catch up and wrap up some art pieces for all of these shows!

It's been crazy around here, but an extraordinarily productive sort of crazy. My students really can rise to a challenge and I am so proud of their hard work!

The drying racks are stuffed!

January Recap

Whew! It's been a long time since I've updated this blog- so much has happened this month! The Lexington 1 Winterfest Art Show went beautifully last week! A big congratulations to all the participating artists and art teachers! The work looked wonderful!

I'll do a separate post to showcase each of Pelion Elementary's pieces for the show!

Our upcoming KidsArt fair is the big topic of discussion around the Art Room right now! PES artists are working hard to create their very best work for the upcoming school show. It's been busy, but we're accomplishing so much!
