Ouye Class Project - Monet Creation

Monet another artist studied this year in FAME was the inspiration for the class art project in Ouye's 3rd grade class. Kathleen Olsen divided a Monet print into equal squares, gave each student a square and then each student recreated their square in oil pastels.

It took about 3-4 sessions for the kids to work on the squares but it paid off. The resembled art piece is amazing. The colors & blending are so well done it's hard to believe 3rd graders did it!

As always, it's even better in person. You can see it in person on Preview Day Tuesday 3/17 or at the auction on Saturday, 3/21.

Note: "Gala" is not on the original just our digital file.

IMAGINE...$1400


IMAGINE - this piece of art work is the brain child of PHE parent Debbie Shess. She worked with 30 4th graders to create this amazing piece of art work. A canvas was divided into 30 squares, each 4th grade created their own mini-art piece and then Debbie assembled them all back together again. PHE parent Roger Nash created a custom steel frame and Tap Plastics donated the plexi-glass cover. Truly...the whole is greater than it's parts!

This original art piece was a hot commodity during the live auction last year. It was quite a bidding war and the closing bid was $1400. Lisa Powell and her family are the proud owners of this great piece of art work.

SECRET 2008 GALA SURPRISE!

With the help and vision of PHE parent and award winning photographer Laura Cottril we pulled off a huge surprise! As parents entered the reception area they were greeted with a huge wall of gorgeous black and white photos of their children. The ooohs, ahhhs and a some tears said it all! A HUGE, HUGE thanks goes out to Laura for her amazing work and the kids for keeping the secret.

If you attended the Gala but there were no pics of your kids, it's probably because you bought your tickets late. Never fear you'll have another chance because Laura has agreed to do it again for the 2009 Gala. A little incentive to buy your tickets early!!!
