Here is the finished poster created for the SPCA of Northern Nevada (where my sister-in-law is Chair of the Board). Artwork comes from 3 of my Animal Art Fun Camps this summer, artists ages 4-11. We used several of the shelters' adoptable dogs as our models. The children were encouraged to create expressive portraits using Fauvist colors. This was such a fun project to put together! I think it's about time for a Rescue Cats Rock! poster. :D
What a fabulous way for your young artists to see their work displayed!!!! I LOVE it!!
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely way to help children understand the need for responsible pet ownership! I love the idea as well as the artwork.
ReplyDeleteLOOOOOOVE it. Did the shelter use the poster in promotions? They should.
ReplyDeleteThese are absolutely adorable! What an awesome opportunity and kids always love painting animals. I bet they loved doing that!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful project for children to understand community involvement.
ReplyDeleteA big Bravo to yourself and your talented students.
ahh very nice... guess I have to ignore the sun and start thinking about what to teach. back to school tomorrow. so glad I have you and others to help me be inspired.
ReplyDeleteThanks so much everyone! The kids were very receptive to the idea. The poster is a gift to kick off the shelter's newly (June) opened facility. Of course it would be wonderful if they wanted to use the poster or children's art in future promotions or fundraising.
ReplyDeleteLOVE IT!! my students will be doing something along the same idea soon!!! such a good way to support adopting animals that need a good home!
