Fine Arts Festival

There is so much to update you all on. Life has been busy as we're in the 4th quarter here at school. A few weeks ago we had the Fine Arts Festival, an event celebrating the arts, of all kinds. The school holds the event every other year. It was such a fun day! Students were put into groups with high schoolers as leaders. They rotated to different stations where they participated in various forms of art- from music, drawing, dancing, and even creating art out of fruits and vegetables.

The committee who put on the event did a great job decorating the sports hall. The theme for this year's Fine Arts Festival was "symphony of color".

The whole school gathered first thing in the morning for the opening ceremony. We watched the 9th grade class put on a skit and the Preschool and Kindergarten classes sang for us. Then the Kindergarteners performed a little play, which was very cute.

Here are the 9th graders as they demonstrate for us in their skit that art can be found in many different forms: dancing, karate, music, painting, photography, drama, sports, and much more.

This is our auditorium decorated with art projects from all the different classes in our school (from Preschool all the way up to high school).

I was assigned to do beads with the little ones (Preschool thru 2nd grade). Here we help the preschoolers make necklaces and bracelets. It was a little chaotic but I really enjoyed it.

One group learns to swing dance at this station.

The preschoolers do some marble painting.

One station was called synchronized stretches (in other words dancing with scarves to music... hopefully in time with the music).

The 8th graders spend time drawing at this station.

And a few groups even got a chance to do karaoke!
