We Don't Know Where They Get It

Joshua and Hannah each win an award for the school's art contest this year. The art contest was in conjunction with the Annual Art Exhibit. The artwork the kids produce during the school's Art Masterpiece program is on display. This year the category that was judged for all the students PreK through 6th Grade was sketching. Out of nearly 200 2nd Graders Joshua took First Place for his pot sketch. Hannah took Second Place out of all the 5th Graders (about 150) for her southwestern sketch. I have included very short videos of their names being called as well as pictures of some of their artwork on display.





Joshua's Pots took First Place for the entire 2nd Grade! Way to go Joshua!!!



Joshua also displayed artwork of a parrot sitting on a branch.



A surprised Joshua wins first place.

Hannah draws a picture reminiscent of Georgia O'Keefe's flowers.

Hannah's video!




The judges were not allowed to look at the kids' names in association with their art. The judges did not know the names of the winners until tonight when they were announced. Interestingly, all three winners from the 2nd Grade were from Joshua's class and all three winners from the 5th Grade were from Hannah's class.
Most interesting, however, is that neither Hal nor I can draw...anything!
The kids are chatting at the art show.
Congrautlations!
Joshua
and
Hannah!

Well - maybe the art gene skipped a generation.
Stan's mother Lucille (Hal's grandmother) was
a very talent artist. I may be wrong but I think she
majored in Art at the U or BYU or somewhere. She
was very talented but never did anything with it.
She had great tastes in colors and design.
But none of the rest of us got the art gene either.
Way to go kids.
