Reflecting on art

Student artists show their wares More than 900 works of art were presented in the annual Crystal River Elementary School (CRES) Art Show on April 27 in the school gymnasium. Art teacher Susan Annabel selected at least two projects by each student to represent art techniques and mediums, art history, art elements and principles and, of course, student self-expression from throughout the year. “I want the students of CRES to be proud of their accomplishments in art, to show them that everyone is an artist, and show them that creativity, self-expression and using their imagination is valued at our school,” Annabel said. Parent volunteers helped mat artwork, print name tags, provide refreshments and install the show, including a cave for the kindergartners’ cave art. Turn to page 9 for more student art.
