Williamson County Art Show

Carter got selected to participate in the Williamson County Art Show at the Frist Center (Nashville's art museum).  Each school in the county got to select two students from each grade level to participate and Carter was one of the two kindergarteners at Clovercroft!!!  He absolutely loves to create art and says that art is his favorite part of kindergarten so this was super exciting for him.

Carter's art will be on display for a couple of weeks.  On Saturday, all of the artists and their families received free admission to the Frist Center.  We've only been their one other time and were excited to get another opportunity to visit.  We spent most of our time there in the Martin ArtQuest area where the kids can create their own art.

The kids really enjoyed the getting to do the printing press.  They each got to draw something on a piece of foam (by just pressing into it), paint the foam, and then send it through the press.

Both boys created a design similar to Carter's artwork in the show ...

This was really fun ...

The kids got to create a movie using 16 still frame pictures.  They would move things in the scene just a little bit for each picture.  Here is a video I took of the movie they created ...

The big boys also got to paint with watercolors ...

Grayson slept the whole time we were there which made it a lot easier to give the other boys lots of attention.

On our way out we saw Christian who was one of the first graders picked from Crockett Elementary.  Christian is Campbell's brother who was in Carter's preschool class for two years and plays soccer with us.  Christian is super sweet and usually plays with Rylan during our practices and games.

We are super proud of Carter and so happy he received such a cool opportunity!
