Elementary School Exhibition
This year’s Green Spaces Elementary Art Exhibition workshop will take place at the Children’s Museum of Richmond. The workshop will take place the weekend of April 13-15, during the elementary school spring breaks, at the Museum. We are proud to be collaborating with such a wonderful group that provides a place for all young children to engage in educational and fun activities through hands-on learning, art and literacy development!
This year’s Exhibition will focus on sustainable transportation concepts and the workshop will challenge children to develop art projects related to this theme. The Museum has graciously offered their art studio and its supplies which include re-purposed materials that would otherwise be in the garbage.
Please consider donating materials, like the ones here, to replenish their supplies – thank you!
2012 Elementary Art Exhibition Challenge
When you ride in a car it needs gas in order to drive. Gas is a fossil fuel and for your car to operate it must burn that fossil fuel. Fossil fuels, when burned, create pollution that enters the atmosphere, which is bad for the environment. Create a picture of how you could travel around Richmond without using any fossil fuels. How would you get from place to place, on a form of transportation powered by you or a renewable energy source? (solar, wind, etc.) Use you imagination! You can help the planet by choosing new ways to get around that will minimize your negative impact and instead, create a positive impact.
