The fruits of my labours

 We had the art show tonight.  I think it looked fantastic and I was really thrilled to be able to be such a large part of putting this all together.  Not only putting up the work, but being involved in the creating of some of it too.

 The vision of the 3 art teachers at school was fantastic to take on such a huge thing.  The kids at school have been so enthused and inspired by the whole process. This was a show for the whole school.  Kindergarten all the way through to grade 9 (as the school only goes up to grade 9 this year)

 It was less about showing off the students' work individually as showing the whole of the creativity of the art department and school.

 And there were some really interesting projects done throughout the year; a huge inspiration to me too.

 I loved this one the grade 9s did where they had to draw an historical figure in the style of Tim Burton, and then make it out of clay.

Kit's big blue teapot

Ella's is the one second from the left at the back, but she's really unhappy with it because bits broke off it when it was fired and it doesn't look as good.

These trees were my work of art made from twisted crepe paper, and by the end of a week they're a bit saggy

Some pillows and monsters from the textiles classes I've been helping out with.

These animal eyes was one of Ella's favourite projects for the year.

 The whole of the 6th floor was covered in art and there was barely a part of it that I hadn't stuck up/hung/arranged/touched in some way.

One of Ella's friends sang in this pared down version of their band. I love that they had live music as well.

 LOTS of people came.  It was crazy busy and hot but it was great to see such a community event at school.  I am thoroughly exhausted at the end of it, but I loved every minute.
