This event included every single student on display with at least 1 piece of visual art. I instructed about 1300+ K-8 students during this school year.  K-6 visit the art room for 30 minute sessions every other week. 7th and 8th grade chose to take art 2D, 3D, or Yearbook as an elective daily for 52 minutes. 

I could not display only a few students; as I don’t know most of my K-6 by name, so it would not be just to chose a couple of them. I cultivate a positive and creative culture and environment; all based on self love. To successfully do this, every student needs to know their value and know they are all artists. Every K-6 student had one piece in the show. All of the 7th and 8th grade visual arts students were highlighted with a few pieces from different projects 2D and 3D. The Yearbook team had a display of the potential covers, that were voted on by staff for the school's first year running. The R.I.S.E. program (accelerated students) had a section dedicated to their creations and projects. Library and visual arts collaborations were on display with student biographies of artworks and a Library drawing contest. Music students rotated out on the stage for numerous performances. Large banners and displays were created specifically for the Art Show.

​Art Show pins and magnets were created by myself and colored by the students; these were sold for $1 to raise money for the visual arts program. The pins earned $100, which I will be buying supplies (on my own time) for the students to replace many of my personal supplies in the art room. Chick-fil-a and two different dessert stands were present to sell foods to our students and families. The entire event was planned, created, and hosted by me.
