Artists at Work- 2018 Art Fair

On a very special Thursday, we all dressed up and headed to school to see the White Rock Montessori 2018 Art Fair!

Yaya, Baba, Uncle Joe, Aunt Sham, Mimi, Pops, and even Aunt Rebekka and Molly joined us at the school to check out the very cool artwork the two of you have been making this year in your classrooms and in art class with your very cool art teacher Miss Holly (aka, Mommy).

Julia, you were super excited to show Molly your school, and introduce her to everyone in the school!

This was also a big year because it was Mommy's first Art Fair as the art teacher at school!

The theme was "under the sea!"

Aidan, you made an amazing blue frogfish out of clay!

Julia, your main piece for the show was an awesome mommy and baby mermaid fashioned out of papier mache!

We saw other amazing works, and other amazing friends, and other amazing works about amazing friends.

I am so inspired by my creative, artistic and amazing family!

Keep on creating!

Art Attack 2: All's Fair





When your Aunt Sham scores tickets to an exclusive art creation day at the Nasher Sculpture Center in Downtown Dallas, you go!

And you have fun! 



And we did!

Mommy was working the fair with Aunt Sham, so the three of us set off and headed downtown. First thing you guys saw was an installation that involved some sort of giant looking crab-lobster. You guys were fascinated by this guy!

Both of you took some cool pictures of it!

Then we joined the fair and each of you found several stations that interested you immensely:

Aidan, you loved the hat-making station:

...and sat in the sun eating a rapidly melting popsicle!

We all got pretty sweet Nasher tattoos!

Julia, you liked Aunt Sham's 'patch-making' station:

They had wooden color-em-up Legos, which you LOVED, Aidan!

Julia, you were on a mission to paint a doll AND a hand puppet, and they both turned out so cool!

There was room to run around free:

Paint on a giant mural:

And plenty of opportunities to bust-a-move:

Even when I thought y'all were done, you found more art to make. Aidan, you delighted in making a monster head!

We said good-bye to the lobster monster...thank you to Aunt Sham...

...and headed to the Klyde Warren park for a bit of splashing around!

We had such a fun time that day: I was so impressed with your individual interest in different activities, and artistic self-expression. And, I could have danced all night with you!
