Let's Play! The Little School Auction & Gala Catalog by The Little School

LET’S PLAY! AUCTION & GALA Saturday, March 28, 2015 Bear Creek Country Club Doors Open at 5pm Priceless!

PLEASE BRING THIS CATALOG WITH YOU TO THE AUCTION 1

WELCOME Welcome to The Little School Auction—Let’s Play! I am not a big user of Wikipedia but this definition of play was too good to pass up:

In psychology and ethology, play is a range of voluntary, intrinsically motivated activities normally associated with recreational pleasure and enjoyment. Play is most commonly associated with children and their juvenilelevel activities, but play can also be a useful adult activity, and occurs among other higher-functioning (non-human) animals as well. This definition captures our hopes for the auction. This night will be a great night—full of fun, friends and paddlewaving hands high in the air in support of The Little School. There is an exciting range of auction items to bid on from fancy dinners and dream vacations, to simple family overnights and play filled experiences for all ages. So recharge your competitive spirits, enjoy the evening and join in this community event that says We Love The Little School! See you at the bidding tables.

One day your child will marvel that their hand was ever so small and they will hold it up to this piece of art created by Nancy’s class and think of their friends and smile.

36. Kristin’s Class Project Kristin’s class project is a mixed media abstract inspired by the works and methods of Jackson Pollock and Wassily Kandinsky, both recognized for their contributions to the early abstract-expressionism style. The kids had three sessions to complete their masterpiece that were divided into three easy steps: cut paper, glue paper and scribble on the final boards. Great fun for everyone! Kristin and Sheila also incorporated the artist theme into the curriculum so the kids had a chance to explore different art forms beyond the class project. February was full of books about artists, their methods and hands-on practice.

LIVE AUCTION 37. Melissa’s Class Project Jackson Pollock’s paintings were unique and sensational, and they established a new way of making art which by-passed traditional painting rules. In his drip paintings, he invented a method that was very original because his brush never touched the canvas. Inspired to break convention and try their own artistic endeavor, Melissa’s class used a variety of tubes filled with three paint colors—black, white and red. Just like Pollock, the kids dripped, dribbled, splashed, splattered, flung, squirted and poured paint right onto the canvases. What Melissa’s class came up with was nothing short of a masterpiece.

SILENT TWO 2057. 1990 Beringer Merlot Bancroft Ranch Howell Mountain Anybody wanting to see how 25 years treats an exceptional Napa Valley Merlot will want to try this 1990 Beringer Merlot Bancroft Ranch Howell Mountain. “Wine Spectator” calls it: “Big, ripe, rich and tannic, packing in lots of currant, herb, cedar and spice notes and adding a toasty, smoky, woody overlay. An intense young wine that’s firmer and more tannic than earlier Beringer Bancroft Merlots, but has a wonderful array of flavors.” (08/93) This bottle has been well taken care of, so it is in good condition. However, anybody who opens this exceptional wine will have to take super good care of the cork as it will want to fall to pieces after 25 years. The wine was purchased directly from Beringer and has been stored properly ever since.
