THE PAINTBRUSHES THE MOSS POINT HIGH STUDENTS WORKED SO HARD FOR ARE IN!!!
Way to go, ya'll!
Riverfest was so much fun~ sorry that Gustav was out there, however.
So much to write about, the face painting demonstrations at Moss Point High School was a fantastic success Friday and then the students that showed up Saturday were even better than that. Honestly, I thought maybe we'd get two because of the storm approaching, but no- at least one student showed up before evacuating and he stayed all day. That story wasn't unusual, either, so they should be very proud of themselves.
I can't wait to upload the pictures; the students did great work and raised a record amount for a pretty dull day in art fest language--- $70. The next time we do this, we'll have a sponsor match what we make, so we can double it. Wish I'd thought of it sooner.
It wasn't about the money, but the fun~ one student said that he had fun and that is the most important thing about the event.
More to write about later.
Thank you for being there, ya'll. Your company made it all worthwhile.
Whats going on at River fest? Everything is a work in progress, but here's a start~ if someone wants to develop something else or change this to a different thing- go ahead :)
Face painting- participants will help here and there throughout the day... and take donations. The funds will go to the Gulf Coast Women Center for Nonviolence and Art with Heart's supply fund. All volunteers will get a certificate mailed to them and their guidance counselors (or someone more appropriate if need be) saying that they helped an organization out of their good will and good hearts :) Of course, this'll getcha extra credit and certainly brownie points from Mom.
While we do that, there will be two canvases: one for kids to paint and one for adults/older children. Of course, some art supplies will be out for people to have fun trying out. We could do some demonstrations and show and tell back and forth if enough people get interested. Maybe we can get some folks to do impromptu lessons to the kids? Hey, maybe the kids will give some lessons, too.
Children's art, of course...
Maybe some live portraits? Someone into cartoons?
Moss Point Hi art students will be volunteering~ and we will be showing their art as well as the illustrious Ms. Denise Williams, art instructor at Moss Point High School.
All of this means that much is to be printed out (why art is important handouts) , free art class info and others. Not to mention getting the supplies, my art, my Mom's and Stephen's goodies set up for the show, too.
OH, Janis is almost finished and will be unveiled at Riverfest!!! She will be up for sale~ auction maybe? The project is: Chairs for Change. (It was chairs for charity, but that sounds funny.)
So, there's lots to do and lots to get going... whoo hoo!
Oh, we have mucho art supplies thanks to Donna Joseph from Moss Point Rec Center and boy, are we in business! So much to learn and so little time, it makes you want two or three lifetimes.
