A few weeks back, Murray's 5th graders participated in our first Music/Art Salon,
what Ms. Corradino and I have dubbed Art Show & Tell.
A set of brave students volunteered to go first, sharing an artwork or musical performance---it could be finished or in progress, from school or completed independently. The main idea was to share work along with a little of the process in order to learn and be inspired by one another.
Students held up their canvases, their drawn games, an origami ornament, and in one case, played a song on the recorder with her nose---elegantly somehow, and to the amazement of the crowd.
It was a pleasure to see students share art, ask questions, compliment one another, and experience a sense of audience. We will continue these Show & Tell sessions throughout the school year as we all continue to learn and grow!
