This year, local artist and author, Mat Hudson, selected to work with Sunnyland fourth graders on a project he called Monster Mash!
Our fourth graders created monster pictures from their imagination. Mat collected them and took them to other local artists who created a piece inspired by the students' works of art. Sometimes, the monsters were similar and other times they varied. What a fun, collaborative project! The finished pieces were displayed downtown in the Make.Shift Art Space.
Here are some images from the night of the Art Walk. Thank you, Mat and to all the artists who participated in the project!

| Later, I ran into Avari. Isn't her face painting lovely? |
We found the third graders' and fifth graders' art later in the evening.
This was Luna's favorite.

| Grace really liked this flower! |
We had a great night and can't wait again until next year. Thank you Bellingham for putting on this event!
Dear Mr. Pahl,
ReplyDeleteI really wanted to see my art work but my parents were too busy to take me. I wanted to know if mine doesn't get sold would I keep my picture and the artist’s picture?

Dear bloggers,
ReplyDeleteIf you went to the make shift art studio please tell me your favorite monster drawing by an artist and your favorite drawing by a fourth grater.

Dear fourth graders,
ReplyDeleteI drove there with my dad and we saw all the amazing pieces. Mine was a whole puppet. The other artist had every detail on it, even the shark teeth! This was a total success and I congratulate all of us.
Sincerely, Miranda

Dear 4th grade,
ReplyDeleteThe monsters that we made are pretty amazing! My favorite is the one with a money bag as a head. Pretty creative! I also like the deer tree sort of thing, with a bow-tie and big eyes, that one is confusing, but cool! What is your favorite?
-Alanis
DEAR Evyn,
ReplyDeleteI like how your monster was looking down with Its mouth wide open it amazing like a monster owl

Dear Everyone,
ReplyDeleteI went there and it was so cool. I loved Mattias’s art, he had a lot of texture on his drawing and volume. Mine was the swirly monster with lots of beautiful colors. I loved all of them.
From, Evyn
Dear 4th grade,
ReplyDeleteYour art work was amazing and you should be proud of what you made besides who cares if your painting doesn't get sold. It means you get to keep your art work for free.
From, Annabella
Dear 4th Grade,
ReplyDeleteFantastic drawings at the monster mash. They all look very cool. I wish we could see all of them. It’d make the perfect monster mash. My favorite was the big furry on really interesting and creative to see. But they were all creative.

Dear Mr. Pahl,
ReplyDeleteI agree Mr. Pahl Grace does love the flower.

Dear Mr. Pahl,
ReplyDeleteDid you have fun at the Monster Mash? Was a graveyard smash? Did you down to the basement? If you did can you tell me what it was like? I didn’t go on Friday night because of a football game. Then Silas, my Mom, my Brother and I drove there on Saturday. Finally did you have fun!

Dear WWU students and class,
ReplyDeleteWhat wonderful pictures you took of the artwork that was being displayed. Did you like the art museum? What piece of art was your favorite? If you are a student that did art did you like the other artist’s piece?
From ,Charlie
Dear Charlie,
DeleteI did not go to the art walk; it had no art of mine anyway. But my favorite piece on the blog was the one made into a mask. What a great idea to turn a painting into something you can wear! I wish I could’ve gone to the Art Walk.
From, Sam
Dear Mr. Pahl,
ReplyDeleteI really liked the picture of the mask. It had a lot of detail in it. I wonder who made it because I would totally bye that if I had chance.
From, Tim.
Dear, Mike
ReplyDeleteI really like the money monster and you did add a lot of detail to you’re monster is really good.
From:David
Dear David,
DeleteThanks, did you make one? If you did what one is yours?
-Mike
Dear Mr. Pahl,
ReplyDeleteI did not go because I had gone earlier. I liked the bunny bandit and his gang of lagomorphs. I wish I could have bot the recreation of my monster. In the end I had a great time.
Sincerely, Mattias
Dear 4th grade,
ReplyDeleteI really liked Mikes because it was made of money. I also liked Brian’s and how the artist made it into a mask. I think everybody did a good job on their artwork.
From, Maximus
ReplyDeleteDear Mr. Pahl,
I’m guessing the art walk was really fun I wish I could have gone. Was the only painting they put up on the art walk the monsters that we made? I hope the portraits that we made in Ms. Avera’s class went up in the art walk.
- Sarah H.
Dear students,
ReplyDeleteI didn’t go to the Monster Mash but I saw pictures. I saw mine on my ants phone it looked crazy it had a real face a floating top hat and Wolverine claws, Thors hammer and all this craziness! And the pictures on the blog are fantastic!
Sincerely, Ellis
Dear fourth grade,
ReplyDeleteI loved to see your art at the art walk. I wonder if mine sold. I was very lucky to meet my artist and she made a very alike painting to mine but a lot more realistic. I loved how in Mike’s drawing was a man made out of money and then the artist just made it out of real paper dollars.
Sincerely,
Neri
