Youth Art Exhibit

The Turner Art Center is hosting a youth art exhibit this month.  As part of this celebration, students from local elementary were given the chance to submit a work of art to be hung in the museum for the month. We received a note last week telling us that a picture Owen had drawn in his art class at school was chosen to be displayed.  Later in the week, his art teacher called the house to tell us that Owen's picture was also chosen to be entered into the competition portion of the exhibit.  Of course, we had to go check this out, so we all loaded up and headed to Valdosta for the opening reception.  The museum was really crowded- tons of parents were there with their children.  After some searching, we found Owen's picture- and his art teacher.  This was such a neat event, and a great way to promote art among the next generation.

The kids were asked to draw a "spring" themed picture.  When I asked Owen what he drew he told me that his picture was of "baby animals being born".  Thankfully, that wasn't exactly correct, although his picture did have lots of animals in it.
