Festival in the Park

Amazing art on display this weekend at Festival in the Park, 

which is at Freedom Park in Charlotte. 

If you're near by, you should pop over and check it out. 

All kinds of art on display through Sunday.

I was thrilled when I received a phone call last week from our new elementary school art teacher. 

She could only select 4 pieces of art from the school to display at the festival 

and William's piece was chosen!

Best part was when she said she selected his not knowing I was an artist. 

When she informed William, he said, 

"My mom is going to be so excited because she's an artist." 

She had the students look at an old fashioned telephone to create their artistic interpretation of it 

and.... voila!

So many wonderful student artists out there so we chose some of our favorites to share...

darling fish...

 peaceful wind catcher...

 bold and colorful...

intriguing design

 

3-D bird from hand cut book pages...

colored pencil shark...yikes!

fabulous pattern play...

and one of our favorites was this one...

made entirely out of bubble gum wrappers and colored Saran wrap...

so clever and creative!

and the festival and the people watching are just as intriguing;

where food and drink are an art form also...

and the smells of peppers and onions and brats breeze through the walkways...

for more festival snapshots you can visit here.

Here's to a celebration of the arts everyone can enjoy!
