Presentation of Elementary Artwork for the Spring Music Concerts!

Over the next few weeks the 4 elementary schools will have their Spring Music Concerts at the Ridge PAC. For the first time, the elementary art teachers created a slideshow of elementary artwork to run before the concerts. What a fantastic way to advocate for the ARTS!  Amazingly enough the presentation was created in Google Docs, each teacher added their own photos - no e-mailing photos or mailing CDs!  Here is a preview...Enjoy!!!

Spring Exhibit at NJPAC

Created with PhotoShake

NJPAC - Spring 2012

One of my goals, each year, is to display as much artwork as possible outside of our school. Throughout the months of April & May 6 pieces of artwork will be on display in the lobby of the Victoria Theater at the New Jersey Performing Arts Center, Newark, NJ. This exhibit is sponsored by the Art Educators of New Jersey, 30 pieces will be exhibited in all.  All the artwork is framed under glass and lit in true gallery style. It is quite an honor to have work exhibited in this exhibit, art educators from around the state of New Jersey submit work.

The Artist's Reception was Sunday, April 22, 2012.

Congratulations to...
Olivia (Kindergarten)
Ishani (1st grade)
Grace (2nd grade)
Antonio (2nd grade)
Claire (4th grade)
Audrey (5th grade)

CONGRATULATIONS to all the young artists!
 

If you are going to NJPAC please make sure to stop by and enjoy the exhibit! All the artwork from this exhibit can been viewed in the Mount Prospect Artsonia Gallery.

Have you seen what's new at ARTSONIA?

ARTSONIA Snappables are jewelry made from ART.  The pendant necklace is magnetic and the SNAPS are printed with artwork and are interchangeable on the pendant!  As you can see from the photo below the artwork can be printed in its original format (square or rectangle - in the box below) or you can have the artwork printed so it fills the circular pendant (out of the box below).  What a great way to actually WEAR some artwork!  You can check out the Mount Prospect ARTSONIA GALLERY HERE!
