March is Youth Art Month

  

    Youth Art Month is celebrated all over Alaska from February 26th- March 27th.  As part of the celebration the Anchorage School District holds an annual Student Art Exhibition throughout the city.  An opening reception will be held at the Anchorage Museum on Wednesday, March 23rd from 5:30-7pm.  Admission is free and open to the public, I'd love to see you there.
    
     Student artwork will be hung in the Anchorage Museum and the Loussac and Eagle River Libraries for an entire month February 26th- March 27th, please take a trip to see this incredible exhibit.

      Kincaid Elementary is lucky to be very, very involved in Anchorage's Youth Art Month.  This year our school is represented by four entire classes and 4 individuals:

•          Mr. Cave's 5th graders made painted paper for a border that will run the length of the    atrium the museum.
• Mr. Kach's 6th graders cut letters from this painted paper to glue to the border.
• Mrs. DeWall's 4th grade and Mrs. Neff's 3/4th combo class made beautiful positive and negative leaf prints that will be on a banner hanging from the second story in the atrium, the banner is 11ft long and 8 foot wide, you won't miss our incredible work.
