Art at the Museum

It's the Annual display of Art from the Anchorage School districts Schools at The Anchorage Museum.

So just in case you'd like to look too...we took some photographs as we walked and looked and enjoyed.

There is Art from all ages from 5 to 18 (Grades K to 12) and we really enjoyed the selections.

  1. What an impressive display of talent. Your local community obviously appreciates the work done in your schools which must be very rewarding for the pupils and teachers.

  2. This looks like a great exhibition. It's lovely that they include all the school years. (Admit I read it wrong and thought the oldest children were 12 and they must be beyond their years in terms of art ability!)Is the crow painted? It looks almost felted.

    1. It does look felted doesn't it..A fat raven I think...but it's smudgy black paint by (I think) a 7 year old. But he would be great felted wouldn't he?

  3. Looking forward to seeing more! I can imagine how thrilling it must've been for those kids not only to have their art displayed in a museum, but to inspire other young, budding artists as well. I'm thrilled that my 3-year-old grand-daughter begs to be taken to "buseums." Exposure plants seeds.

      We enjoy visiting ours and you are right they are very inspiring...walking round the exhibit's makes your hands itch for a paint brush and pots of colour and quantities of paper :0)

from an old gravestone

If you hold your nose to the Grindstone
and you leave it there long enough,
Then soon you'll say
there's no such things
as brooks that babble
and birds that sing,
these three will all your world compose,
just you, the stone and your poor old nose.

(from memory so may not be word perfect)
