Community Art Room on ARTSONIA

Artsonia started their new year so our Community Art Room is empty of last years art and we start filling our page with the art work from June on. Click on artsonia.com to see our summer art projects. You as parent can register in order to supervise the comments that your child receives as well as approve of the "fans" of you child. While you are on Artsonia, check out the gift shop of products, all of which can have any of your favorite art work on each piece. And Artsonia's policy is to reward the Community Art Room with 15% of the sale to purchase art supplies for students. Be sure and spread the news to family and friends so they can see all the great art your child is producing and help the Art Room with art supplies.

Mural Project at the Animal Shelter

Justin Larson was selected for his design proposal to the Sierra Vista Arts and Humanities/Cochise College posting of a mural project on the water collection tank located at the new Animal Shelter. Justin's proposal is called "Raining Cats and Dogs" with reference to the animals of the shelter and to the water tank's collection of rain water. The site of the mural is out back of the Animal Shelter on a water collection tank.

Edie Manion, member of the Sierra Vista Arts and Humanities Commission was the chair of the Mural Project is also a member of the Huachuca Art Association proposed to the HAA Art Classroom Students to assist Justin with his mural project. How could they pass up an opportunity to work with a mural artist on a real outdoor mural site. Justin then visited the HAA Art Room with  his design and showed the students how they could participate in his design. His design included dogs and cats with umbrellas blowing around the water tank with one big dog under an umbrella. The students produced their own animal with an umbrella. Justin then demonstrated how to make a actual sized stencil to cut out and would be taped to the water tank before painting.

On the painting day at the Animal Shelter, Justin had the stencils already taped up and the students spent the morning painting their contribution to the mural. After they were done everyone took the tour of the new Animal Shelter facilities.

Student Art Show, August 6th - 29th, 2010

The Art Gallery is now collecting art work from any student who has taken art classes at the Gallery/Art Room.  You students out there, go through your collection of art work on all the projects we have done this year and pick 3 of you best and favorite ones. Also see if you have your own art work you have done this year to see if you want to include them in the art show.

The art work for any art show needs to be framed and ready to be hung. That means it needs a frame and possibly a mat inside the frame and some art needs to be in a frame with glass. The hangers on the back are the eye screws and wire or the frames with a hanging devise attached. The Art Room has a supply of donated frames that may work for your art so bring your work in to see if we have something you can use.

The procedure for entering your art work after you have chosen your 3 pieces, framed them and readied them for hanging is to bring them to the Art Gallery (3818 Astro, Hereford) on Thursday, August 5th from 9am to 12 noon. There you will fill out an entry form for each of your pieces. Then the work will be hung for all to see.

Each art show has a special time to gather friends, family and other artists to celebrate the show. The Student Art Show Reception will be on August 7th from 4pm - 6pm at the Art Gallery. All the artists who have art work invite people to come and see the show and have something to eat and drink.  Be thinking of who you can invite to come and celebrate your showing and send them an invitation.

At the end of the show (August 29th) the art work is taken down and you are required to come in and pick them up.

Again, bring you art work in if you need help with the framing.
