My son’s school holds an art fair annually. Every year, I leisurely visit each display–at least twice. I missed the fair this year because I was in Chicago. I was pretty sad about missing out, so you can imagine my surprise when I walked into the school to meet with one of the teachers and found a lot of the art still on the walls! (I’d been told it had all been taken down immediately after the fair).
If that weren’t thrilling enough–I almost passed out with excitement when my eyes beheld the sunflower display of Ms. Middleton’s second grade class.
Gasp!
“Sunflower Wall,” Ms. Middleton’s Second Grade Class
Don’t you want a closer look?
Ms. Middleton’s Sunflower
Here are the kids’ sunflowers–made with crayola, innocence, and loads of sunshine. [Click an image for a closer look]
Aren’t they beautiful? Pretty impressive for second graders, huh? Their sunflowers are certainly better than any I can draw.
If you love sunflowers, stay tuned. I’ve declared this “Sunflower Week” on Pics and Posts!
A super array of sunshine! It is so nice for the kids to be able to display their work. We are getting ready for a 5 day event here called Focus on Youth. The art display this year is called Artists in our Neighbourhood – Past, Present and Future with the focus on the kid’s work. There is also a music component where individual kids and some classes perform at the high school auditorium. I hope I remember to take photos. Thanks for sharing Chandra
Oh yes! Be sure to take photos. Children’s art is the best!
Love these sunflowers, thanks for sharing them with us Chandra 🙂 Each is so distinctive. Wonderful personalities:)
agreed
I know! It seems they each captured a different type of sunflower. I love all of them!
Fantastic. What a gift. Super talented little ones. I love them. It would be cool if they printed a package as a fund raiser. I would buy one. Thanks for posting
I passed your comment on to the teacher. She is very pleased. Who knows? Maybe, we’ll see some packets of sunflower notecards or postcards soon. 🙂
What a unique variety of children’s view. All wonderful to look at. Thank you for sharing (especially when no kids around)
Thank you for dropping by, Eileen!
Quite impressive is an understatement. Art is not Braden’s strength. I love this. It makes me want to put a sunflower wall in my own house for the summer. Beautiful. Just beautiful.
Art is every kid’s strength. Just let him be. Whatever he creates is art. Too many times, we force kids to conform as artists. Let them do what the want–draw, paint, play doh–and then, look through different eyes. No comparing. No expectations.
But YES to the sunflower wall in your home!
I love sunflowers. I went in pursuit of them for weeks in Italy once! lol
Yes! I remember. I read that blog post!
At least, I think it was your blog post. Eek!
