First Annual Elementary Art Show

First Annual ElementaryArtShow

The CH&BS Elementary Art Department, under the direction of Mr. Phil McWhirt, sponsored the first annual Elementary Art Show. Kindergarten through fifth grade students created projects to be exhibited in a formal art show. The projects demonstrated the process that a professional artist goes through to produce a masterpiece to be sold.

Various projects were introduced at each grade level, including the mixed media used to produce each one. Students worked hard on their projects, expressing a sense of accomplishment from their work. Each art project was professionally matted and framed and ready to sell. Many parents, students, and friends came to view and buy their favorite student’s masterpiece.

“I wanted all the students to enjoy the opportunity of proudly showing off something they created, to be proud of their hard work, and move forward with other accomplishments, ” said Mr. McWhirt. “In order for

us to educate children for life and eternity, we must open doors that go beyond reading, writing, and arithmetic, and recognize the talents God has given each child. These talents may include sports, music, drama, or the visual arts. ”

The show was a great success! We look forward to our next show in December. “We are hoping the show will provide some very special Christmas gifts to family and friends, ” said Elementary Principal Mrs. Kosko.
