We've had some visitors!

Last week both the after-schoolers and preschoolers were visited by some local artists and musicians! The Preschool class listened and danced to some traditional African drumming and song, performed by Craig Myers and his friend. Each preschooler then got a turn to drum some beats for everyone.

In the After-school program, the Fleming Museum visited as part of their after-school outreach program. Andy Goldsworthy, an artist that creates sculptures using natural materials such as twigs, leaves, grass, stones, bark, shared some of his art through a slideshow with the group. They had to guess the natural materials that each sculpture was made from- it's not as easy as it sounds! After, all the kids got to make their own sculpture using natural materials (flowers, twigs, leaves) to take home. You can see some of their fabulous artwork in these photos!
