ArtBreak

This was ArtBreak's 23rd year here in the Shreveport area. 23 years of bringing together, in once place, the incredible art of children and young adults (through 12th grade). Awesome work. I am particularly fond of the elementary school art. The teachers don't have much time with the children and can only cover (at most schools) very basic techniques. Despite this, the children's innate abilities shine through; their use of color and design is something adult artists work hard to achieve. Notice how many children make art of their animal friends? (see Flicker images) Not to neglect books and reading, I've posted a couple of cute pieces (by future booksellers or librarians?).
