we recently had our first annual arrow art show at ATHICA. it was a one night only event, but was so fun and inspiring. every child that attends our sprouts and seedlings classes had at least one piece in the show and we even auctioned off a collaborative piece, which was won by local artist, Lou Kregel. we had snacks & finished off the evening with bubbles on the patio! it was a great way to finish our school year.
many thanks to all who came to support the children's art and to our wonderful staff for pulling it all together....it was a lovely night....
we had another great day with the creative folks from Athica, Georgia Museum of Art, and Treehouse kid&craft at our third Come Together event! each organization desinged an activity for different age groups based on the theme of "vessels". arrow led the 1 to 3 year olds and used glue and tissue paper to make bowls, using an inflated balloon as the base. then, treehouse brought yarn, glue and tin cans- the 4 to 6 year old children wound the yard around the cans covering them in multi-colored lines. GMOA had clay and jewels for the 7 to 10 year olds to make their own bejeweled cups with, in honor of their new catherine the great exhibit, and athica had ingredients for carving stamps and making books for the older kids, although all the ages mingled with all the different crafts- a sure sign of fun! thank you, everyone!
our little ones have been learning all about winter and cold things recently. we made sparkly snowflakes and painted a wintery scene. we even experimented with some ice painting....brrrrrrrrr......
a few weeks ago, Arrow banded together with athica, the georgia museum of art, the lyndon house, and treehouse to put on a day of creating with children, in conjunction with athica's exhibit appropriately called 'community'. we are very excited to help this collaboration continue...stay tuned for our next gathering, in winter 2013...
we dyed playsilks for our little ones, but in the process we learned about immersion dyeing and some of us played around with some tie dyeing too. we had lots of fun, and will do this again sometime !
we are lucky to have uga art ed student rachel barnes leading a series of art activities for the summer. on our first day ladybugs appeared in a patch of green grass.
special thanks to mamas tabatha, rizzie and amanda for sewing our smocks!
