open sketchbook show

feeling energized after putting on our annual school art show! what's not to love about being able to give away $250 in art supplies to kids who jump up and down when their ticket number is called and hug their new materials to their heart? based on www.thesketchbookproject.com, we did this with our school. 350 sketchbooks and pens arrived in my office last october and today it all came together. copies of famous artist's sketches lined the walls next to K-8 work...ladders, shelves, crates and creative displays while images and videos played on the screen...families slowed down, put their phones away and connected over design. Do. More. Art!
