Family fun night Art Show

15 years 8 months ago #148606 by FoxMom
You could decorate the room with paper framed and let the kids sign one-- maybe make hand prints on the next and so forth-- the room would look like an art museum by the time they were done.... then you could have stations and use some of the arts and crafts night brochure suggestions to incorporate the arts into the night--

We used Kids Art Fair out of Florida. They sent us the paper to use, the art teacher used it in art class. The kids all did wonderful pictures!! The Kids Art Fair Rep came out, we helped frame the pictures (very easy), set them up on 3 tiered stands, like an art show and sold most of the works of art! We made over $600! We set everything up in the gym.

You could do something like that, and maybe have the school band playing, and than maybe the choir can sing if you have one!

Are you talking art in general or are you going to showcase the art of your students? You could do both and one of your best resources would be your school's art and music teachers. They would probably be happy to help since many times the music and art depts are kind of forgotten. In elementary we even had the music teacher come to a PTO meeting and tell us about what happens in her classroom, and then she did a little demo/performance with some of the children who had come with their parents that night.

If you have a local art guild, or college in your community, you could utilize them too. They might be willing to provide demonstrations of different art mediums. Also, look at your high school for some students who might be willing to earn some community service hours helping families make some art projects, learn dance, try out musical instruments, or even perform. If you're serving food, think how nice it might be to have a string quartet or brass ensemble playing in that area.

Hey Rocky, watch me pull a rabbit out of my hat.

I am heading a family fun night the theme is an Art show. I have not come up with much on the idea front. I am so stuck and dont have much time to come up with anything. Our fun night is April 2 and we have spring break coming up too. I need any suggestions on how to make this one of the best art shows. I would like to show many different forms of art...ie ..music, pictures, drawing etc. Any help would be great. Thanks for reading and thanks in advance for your help.
