Art Show
While you are attending the enrichment orchestra concert, you will be able to enjoy some delightful artwork prepared by the artisans in Sherry Hall’s summer enrichment art program.
"I adore teaching each child for who knows which one might be the next Picasso," Hall said. Students are working with a wide variety of mediums including, but not limited to, clay, sand, oils, gel, glitter pens, candy wrappers(for a collage) and toothpaste! The creative juices flow as they decide on a title and choose a signature style for their art.
Shown here is Kennedy filling her sketchbook with absolutely gorgeous pictures and, standing by her, Divya is deciding which blending pencil to use.
