Art and Sculptures with a dash of Choir

Last Thursday (also our 15th Anniversary if you happened to forget) we were invited to attend an Art + Sculpture + Choir event at Mikayla's school.

The main focus of the evening, for Mikayla, was the Choir event.

As part of her Choir class this year, each student needs to participate in a concert.  This could be a solo, or they could sing with another choir student.  Mikayla R. and Mikaela T. quickly chose each other as singing partners and have been practicing their song for a couple months.

So, here is the video.  The song, Let It Be, begins with Mikaela T. doing a solo and then Mikayla R. has a solo during the second half.


The judge gave them a high score and offered to let them sing it a second time if they wanted to (since they were ahead of schedule).  The girls refused to sing it a second time, but it turns out that they qualified to perform at an upcoming concert in the nearby metropolis of Bellingham in the near future.

After the choir singing, we went on a short family-friendly art tour to find a couple projects that Mikayla has been working on in Art class.

First off, I'm pleased to present her wire Bird sculpture, currently on display in the Library:

Next, we located her pottery/clay bowl located outside the library.

Both are very unique pieces, but it seems they didn't quite meet up to Mikayla's original expectations.  I recall having the similar experiences in my 7th grade art class... forever squashing my grand plans to be an artist.

Anyway... stay tuned for info about the upcoming Bellingham concert.
