We invite you to visit the Children’s Room of the Pierre Bottineau Library for the viewing of three, collaborative, five foot, delightful, acrylic paintings created by student artists during the 2009 summer workshop with NE artist, Mary Welke.
Paintings on exhibit from April until the end of June in the Library located on 55 Broadway & Marshall Street NE, inside the old Grain Belt Brewery building. Phone 612.630.6890 for Library hours.
The three, five foot paintings on exhibit were created during the 2009 Children’s Summer Workshop with NE artist, Mary Welke.
• Jungle Painting, by Erica, age 9, Francesca, age 8 and Ava, age 6
• Seaworld, by Erica, Francesca and Ava
• Life on Mars, by Erica, Francesca and Ava
The idea originated with our discussion that art has many purposes. Mary Welke's objective was to give the girls an opportunity to make a very large painting they could work on as a team project. It was also important that the final results could serve the community in some way.
They discussed creating a painting that would make people happy. The initial focus was to exhibit at a children’s hospital to help cheer up the children. The painting could be adaptable to a variety of community locations, such as the Children’s Room at the Library.
Mary and her Rascals hope the three final paintings are successful in their objective and make you happy!
