This past Thursday they announced the winner of Artprize and our favorite piece won! In my mind Artprize was a HUGE success, because it totally captured my kids and peaked their overall interest in art. Shaelyn loved it! She would think about it, talk about it and wonder what she could make to enter into the competition someday! It was fun to see!
The piece that won was a sketch all done with a #2 pencil. This fascinated Shaelyn, she was amazed by all the different shades the artist could create! She wanted this piece to win so badly! We were downtown on the night the announcement was being made, they were showing the announcement on tv's/projectors all around town, but it was getting late and the kids were tired. Shaelyn was so eager to find out who won that she was begging us to stay, but McLleyton was ready for his bed, so I told her we'd check online as soon as we got home. The whole way home she was going through different art pieces explaining to me what place she thought the would get and why. There is nothing like learning hands on!
The DeVos family (who puts on Artprize) have done SO much for our city, this has definitely become one of my favorites :)!
The Winner was: Cavalry, American Officers, 1921 by Chris LaPorte
Shaelyn really wanted me to take her picture in front of it, since she was sure it was going to win... too bad she blinked :)
Monreau liked this one :)
This piece was also really cool...placed in the top 10...
Uncle John & Aunt Kelly came with us :)
