Symbolic Suns This video shows a sampling of students in grades 1-4 who created colorful paintings to symbolize all that the sun provides us: light, heat, growth, energy, and life. This was a terrific project to work on in the middle of winter when we don’t see as much of the sun as we’d like. I hope this cheerful video leaves you with the same warmth and happiness that we experienced in creating the paintings.

The Barre Supervisory Union Art Show Tuesday, February 17 through Tuesday, March 31, 2009 This celebratory exhibit showcases the creative talent of students in kindergarten through twelfth grade. Works exploring a diversity of media and artistic concepts will be shown. Elementary students, for example, used simple shapes to create complex images in a project titled, “Eric Carle-Inspired Collage.” Middle school students created “Calligraphy” while learning about Japanese culture. And, high school students explored proportion and scale of the human face in “Self-Portraits.” These are just a few examples of the many projects on display all aimed at cultivating the creativity of Barre student artists. The bulk of the exhibit will hang at the Aldrich Public Library. The remainder of the artwork will be displayed in the store fronts of Barre’s Main Street merchants: Banknorth, Bob’s Camera and Video, Chittenden Bank, El Sol, Jerome the Florist, Local Agricultural Community Exchange, Nelson’s Ace Hardware, No. 9 Boutique, and Studio Place Arts. The public is invited to join the aspiring young artists for an opening reception Tuesday, February 17 in the Milne Community Room at Aldrich Public Library from 6:00-7:30 p.m. (snow date: Thursday, February 19). For more information, contact Anne Leeds, Barre Town Middle & Elementary School, 476-6617, ext. 210.   Hannah Fuller and Cort Ballard, 4th grade students at Barre City Elementary & Middle School, proudly show their batiks, which are on display in the Barre Supervisory Union Art Show.   More photos from the art show below...
