Ted and I are related to two artists whose work was selected for public exhibition: Sky and Dylan. Each spring, the St. Charles School District chooses a few representative art projects from each grade–K-12–and displays them at the Foundry Art Center in downtown St. Charles. Of course, we had to take a personal look at the artwork.
Sky (not surprisingly) submitted a detailed Star Wars drawing. Dylan painted a sunset sky. The sun in Dylan’s painting is colorless. Dylan told me it’s an artistic illusion: the orange sky makes the sun look yellow.
And here’s a first grader’s picture that made us smile. The minions always seem to have that effect.
