Art Show

Here are several pictures from the school wide art show that was held at Southdale last week. Students who were interested created an original piece of art at home, using their own art materials, and their own creative ideas. All of the work was gathered last Monday at school and judged by the Director of the Hearst Center for the Arts, a UNI Art Professor and 2 UNI Art Education students. The judges took this hard task seriously and had some great things to say about ALL of the pieces entered.

Tuesday and Wednesday students had a chance to walk through the art show using their art "museum behaviors" which we sometimes practice in the art room. The art show was also open for viewing during conferences Tuesday and Thursday which gave parents a chance to see the entries.

Thank you to all of the students who entered the art show, and to all parents and teachers who had a chance to visit. I say it time and time again but we have some talented kiddos here at Southdale!

 Best In Show overall went to 4th grader Lexi Bender for her LARGE SCALE mixed media piece titled "Stone Bones and His Parrot, Rocky". Great job Lexi, and great job to everyone!
