Scholastic Art Awards - 2013
It’s that time again! Work from this year’s Portland Metro Scholastic Art Awards is on view at PNCA. Individual Gold Key winning artwork can be found in the commons of PNCA’s Main Campus building. There is so much to see in this astounding exhibition. Here are a few of the works currently on display that have caught our eye in Continuing Education.
The exhibition runs from February 3rd through February 22nd, 2013. If you plan to check out the work while it is up you should set aside a good chunk of time. There is a great deal of work on display and the caliber is such that you will want to spend some time really looking at everything.

Hot Air Balloons!
This week the Art Explorers class started on their hot air balloon project! This is going to be a sculpture project with several phases, the first of which is using papier-mâché over regular balloons to make a hard surface for the students to paint on. Now… I know what you’re thinking… isn’t the 4 to 6 class a little young to be doing a papier mâché project. No way! This is a great age to integrate soft, flexible sculpture material into a child’s art curriculum. Was it messy… yes. But, the mess will be worth it once our students are finished!
One thing that our instructor did to make sure everything went smoothly in class was to ensure there was an adult at each table. In the picture above you can see our Teaching Intern, Elizabeth, helping prep materials and assisting a student with their project. We also had our new Program Assistant, John, on hand to help! If you would like to see more images of our stellar Art Explorers making some amazing hot air balloons this week, you can do so by visiting our flickr site.
