2008 CCS ART FAIR

On Thursday, May 1st, Challenge Charter School held its annual art fair and every student proved they are an artist! The results were easily apparent from the impressive work displayed at our evening art show.  It was an opportunity to support every student’s natural creativity, cultivate self-esteem through personal expression, and to have fun celebrating art.  We are very proud of our young and talented artists.

A BIG thank you to Ms. Schneider, the Art teacher, and Señora Zazueta, the Spanish teacher, for their hard work and for making the art show such a great night.  Thank you to the teachers who volunteered to transform the cafeteria into an art gallery.  Congratulations to all of the CCS students and parents for making the art show a success!

If you did not attend our art fair, you still have a chance to view the art gallery pieces on-line at www.artsonia.com/challenge1.  The students’ work is listed under each teacher’s name and grade.  This website allows for sharing your child’s masterpiece with family members and friends.  You can also order mugs, t-shirts or high quality prints with your child’s artwork on it.  Plus, 15% of the proceeds go to our school’s Art program.

Mr. & Mrs. Miller were on hand to admire our student's masterpieces.  Each year, the Millers select student work to add to the school's art collection.  They then offered each student artist and his or her family an opportunity to sell the work for $25.  The Millers had the art professionally framed and displayed prominently on campus.  Mr. & Mrs. Miller reminded everyone that beauty is in the eye of the beholder, and the most important part of the Art Show is that the students expressed themselves creatively and made something of their own, that holds beauty in their eyes
