Art Show Summary

Below are the creations that were on display during the Jackson County Art Show. Thanks to all who helped make this happen, and for supporting the arts.

Jackson County Art Show

This past Friday, I had the honor of attending the 2nd annual art show. It was thrilling to see so much attention being given to the arts. There were current and former teachers, volunteers, parents, artists of all ages, businesses who donated money, and many other wonderful characters to learn about. Awards were given out in various categories. Our Hannah B. won 4th place (drawing), Isaac B. won 2nd place (mixed media), Mac F. won 3rd place (sculpture), and Shelby W. won 1st place (mixed media)!!

My precious Sobe showed up to check out his waves. He has made a series of these. He was inspired by where he last lived, on the coast. He frequently talks about the light coming through the waves, and how the colors were reflected. He is also a talented artist in many other areas, such as drawing log cabins, ships, and even making gingerbread houses! I can see him being a culinary artist when he "grows up".

 
 

 

 

 

 

Show that Art!

The Jackson County Arts Council had their first ever art show for middle and high school students.
                          
Unfortunately, timing was bad and I was out of town for a wedding in Nashville for the opening weekend. We had many students who had art in the show (they are listed in a previous blog post), but the following students won awards, ribbons, certificates, and cash prizes. They were proud and I was proud of them. The art show snuck up on us this year with little warning. Next year, we will be better prepared!

We had limited wall/table space, so there are only a few students. This year, we had little time to gather the pieces, being the first year, but next year, I will know in advance. The art show opening was last Friday. My husband was in a wedding in Nashville, TN, so I was unable to attend. I will stop by one evening this week to take pictures to post for you. I know that you will want to see what was chosen. Congratulations to these students!
