Artwork for Children's Art Auction

Here is a sneak peak at some of the beautiful pieces that were made for our Children's Art Auction, this Saturday at the Bridge Street Art Fair.  Each grade level painted, dyed or printed fabric for a unique quilt and also created a two-dimensional piece.  The artwork is framed in handmade Vermont Cherry frames, made by a wonderful parent volunteer.   The silent auction begins at 2pm downstairs at the corner of Bridge Street and Main Street, under the black awning.

Fabric Painting for Art auction Quilt

Thank you M.L. and Jill for helping with our fabric painting project!  First and second graders painted fabric squares that will be sewn into a quilt for our art auction to benefit the PTO.  We used special fabric paints that reacted with sunlight to create prints.  We also added Kosher salt, lentils and alphabet pasta to our pasta to create some amazing effects.  We are so lucky to have AMAZING parent volunteers to help us with this massive project! 

Tar Beach Story Quilts

In celebration of Black History Month (February) and Women's History Month (March), we read Tar Beach  by Faith Ringold.  In this story, the main character says that she can "own" any building or place just by flying over it.  

What special place would you make your own if you could fly over it?
