So this year Bart contacted Addison's first grade teacher and asked if her class would be interested in doing a joint art show with his high school students. Mrs. Boles said, "Absolutely!" So the show was on!
Addison's class drew pictures of monsters and then Bart's ceramic class sculpted them.
I picked up the pictures from Mrs. Boles, made copies of them, and dropped off the copies at Bart's class. When he saw them, he got sooooooo excited! They were so good! He couldn't believe first grader's had drawn them!
The whole sculpting process was a bit stressful for Bart...especially since there were more students in Addison's class than in his, but several students did multiples, and a few teachers helped out too, so every first grade picture had a great sculpture that went along with it. And when the kids came to the art show and were soooooo excited to see the sculptures of their art work, it made all of the hard work and stress TOTALLY worth it!!!
Bart got to sculpt Addison's monster, so that was pretty cool too. :)
Bart's class took a vote and they elected to give the sculptures to the elementary school students, so they took a field trip over to the elementary school to give them the sculptures. It was so awesome! The kids were so excited!
They put the art on display at the school for the last few weeks of school.
I got WAY more pictures than I posted here, but I didn't want to bombard you with a million pictures.
Needless to say, it is something we hope to repeat in the future!!! :)

That is so neat! I can't believe the pictures those kids made! What a great treasure! Do the kids get to take them home now that the school year is over, or do they leave them in the cabinet? That is so fun! What a great idea!
They got to take them home. Both the picture & sculpture are displayed on our fireplace now. :)
