20 pieces were selected to represent Dryden's Art Program for the 2011-2012 school year. I entered these (see gallery) for consideration into the Illinois Art Education Student Show Exhibit. Only 40 pieces from the entire state are chosen for this year long traveling exhibit. Congratulations to all 20 finalists for creating such amazing pieces!

The judges chose one Dryden piece for the traveling exhibit...
Congratulations to Kenzie for her Wish for the World in Wordfoto piece, "Play". 
Learn more about how she made this piece of art from an earlier post.

She will be honored at the awards ceremony in Lisle, IL in November as her piece joins 39 others to travel the state!
See this video from last year's winner, Kristelle, to understand how truly special this art show is for children.  
 
 
Mrs. Theresa McGee, art teacher at Monroe Elementary School in Hinsdale, IL participated in the International Day of Peace by making Pinwheels for Peace.
She sent out her students' pinwheels to help spread peace and its message to other students.
We received one last week just as I was getting ready to present at the Art Educators Association of Indiana's Conference in Indianapolis. (Curious about this? Click Here)
I brought the pinwheel with to introduce Love to Peace. Hopefully this video explains.
View all the places that the pinwheels for peace have visited during Mrs. McGee's collaborative project on her Google Map.
