Art Around the World Art Show

Had to post about our Art Around the World Art Show!
It went great. We had it in conjunction with Grandparent's Night and the book fair, so the turn out was awesome! The kitchen also provided cookies and lemonade which was fun! Each hall was a different continent, and the kids earned stamps in their "passports" for answering two trivia questions per continent. The answers were found by looking at the art, or reading the descriptions of the art. I tried to make sure each student had at least 2 pieces of art in the show, and there was at least one project per grade level in each hall (6 or more projects per continent) so that people would move around the whole school. Enjoy your "tour"!
