Peace Poster Contest Winner

I was happy to learn this morning my wonderful art student, Dylan Florence was selected to represent our region in the Lion's Club Peace Poster Contest.  His poster will be entered into the state-wide competition and we wish him the very best of luck.  Congratulations Dylan! A wonderful poster and a dedicated artist.
Congratulations to Sophia and to Ashlyn for placing second and third.  I am very proud of your efforts.
As I mentioned, we were hugely rushed to meet out deadline for this project.  I went back to my files looking for photos of the second and third place projects to post today, and I am heartbroken not to have them.  The posters were picked up before I could photograph them all.
Special thanks to all my students who shared their art in the spirit of peace.

Visions of Peace

Upper elementary students at Readsboro Elementary School are participating in the Lions Club international peace poster contest.  The theme this year is "Visions of Peace".  Students started work on these posters just three weeks ago by developing a rough draft.  We decided to participate this year on very short notice and students had just two weeks to work on their final entry.  These are large scale artworks and kids and we were really pinched to meet the deadline.  Our plan is to participate again next year, but to start much earlier in the year.
More info on the contest is available on the Lions Club web site:  http://www.lionsclubs.org/EN/our-work/youth-programs/peace-poster-contest/index.php
