Art Show

Last week we went to a school art show for Ruby.  Every year the school does this, with the art teacher choosing art pieces done by students from Kindergarten to 12 grade.  Ruby was so excited to have a piece chosen to be shown again.



Here's the entrance to the show.





There was a lot of art there!  We had to go looking for Ruby's piece.





Here's Ruby with her art work.












After seeing Ruby's piece, we checked out some of the other art work.  Aren't these cow bowls cute!





This cute little ostrich was drawn by a 3rd grader.





This is a ceramic piece done by a 10th grader.






I thought this painting was incredible - done by a student in 11th grade.



After the art show was done, Ruby was notified that her piece was chosen to be displayed at the DeVos Center in Grand Rapids; they chose 6 pieces out of several hundred so she was excited and we're very proud of her!

    Ruby's piece is so talented and creative!! It combines three or four different kinds of patterns, yet they all blend well into a complete theme! I know ow proud you must be of her. The 11th grade student's work is amazing!!

    Congratulations to Ruby!! That is an awesome art piece and extra special to be chosen for another show!! The art museum, where I worked, has a student art gallery and it was always my favorite. The kids, especially the younger ones, have no fear and are so creative. I am always blown away by the talent!! Thanks for sharing Ruby's piece with us!! I'm excited for her and her talent!!

    What a nice show and all that terrific talent! Bet it was fun. I wish I could draw and paint like those folks can. By the way, I noticed it was held in Hudsonville. Must be "one of ours". We Hudson's are everywhere, you know. LOL ❤️

    I am amazed that a 3 year old did that drawing. WOW Ruby's was great too and what an honor to have it hang in Devos. Kudos to her! Janice

    There is a lot of talent there. Having zero artistic talent myself, I am truly fascinated by what these young people accomplish! I hope Ruby's excellent piece is added to the permanent collection at school! xoxo
