Ava’s Grade 4 Art Exhibition

10 November 2015 –

Yahoo!  Tonight is the night! Ava and her classmates have been working for the past several weeks working on their various art pieces – including their pièce de résistance. 

What kinds of treats do you make for a kids art exhibition?  I made these funny carrot and cucumber flowers (Mark said they looked dinosaur feet!  Doesn't matter…they're funny!). 

I made the carrot flowers to "counteract" these delicious and colorful treats:

Rainbow cupcakes!!!  And I think everyone knows how I feel about rainbows…and rainbow cupcakes.  :-) I made three batches of different vanilla cupcakes (from scratch!) and two different kinds of frosting. My mouth is drooling….

The parents hovering and waiting to see the artwork!

Frances taking photos of the food (see???  I'm not the only one that takes photos of food!!!)

Pizza rolls??? (they were yummy)

How we express ourselves….the topic for the art exhibition:

Ava all cleaned up!

Dad, Ava, and me:

All the kids are super excited to share their art work with their families.  

Ava is trying to convey that you can love a place even though you haven't been there before …or another way to put that … there are many beautiful places in this world that you can enjoy even if you live elsewhere. 

Ava loves discussing her painting:

Here's the list of questions to ask our Grade 4 Artists:
Why don't you ask Ava these questions?  I'm positive she'd be more than happy to tell you all about her paintings and artwork!!!

Ava, I'm so proud of you and your beautiful art pieces!  Job well done!!!
