Art Gallery Walk

The Elementary School where Kaleb attends has a special night for parents. It is called the Art Gallery Walk. It is an event that showcases artwork that the students have been working on in class. Typically the kids create a piece of artwork that goes along with a subject or even a person they are learning about. Their artwork is then displayed on bulletin boards located just out side their classrooms. On this night, the kids and myself headed to support Kaleb. (Mark was out of town on this night. He was working in San Fransisco.) It was fun to see Kaleb get so excited to show me and Karmindy the artwork that he had been working on.

For Kaleb's art work, his class was learning about author Eric Carle who is known for his beautifully illustrated Children's books. He is mostly famous for his book, The Very Hungry Caterpillar which has been translated in over 50 languages.
Here is Kaleb's Eric Carle inspired artwork.

 Another famous person that Kaleb's class learned about was Vincent Van Gough. Here is Kaleb's painting of some beautiful flowers in a vase.
I am so proud to be Kaleb's mom. He is such a great kid and I am really proud of his artistic talents and abilities. He truly does his best in everything that he is involved in!
I really enjoy this art gallery walk event at Kalebs school. It is really fun to go and see what the kids have been working on and learning about in class. Even Karmindy gets into it and enjoys going to see what "brother" is up to at school.
We were so glad that we could go and support Kaleb this night and spend time as a family.
