Art Explosion Ends With A Bang!

The Lakewood Public Library’s Art Explosion program wrapped up its fall session on Saturday, November 19 with its biannual art exhibition. The show punctuated the program’s 8th season by showcasing the awesome works of art made by its 5th through 8th grade participants. Nearly 70 people attended, including the children themselves, their parents, families and friends, as well as some from the general public. The projects on display included exercises in color mixing, a selection of “limited palette” paintings, non-self-portraits, and amazing mixed media masks. (Not to mention the chilling photographs from Halloween’s zombie makeup workshop!)

Show attendees spent Saturday afternoon meeting peers & parents, enjoying refreshments, and viewing a slide show of the kids hard at work from throughout the season. Don’t worry if you missed out this time, Art Explosion happens twice every year, so we’ll be back in the spring with another great group of new artists (and seasoned veterans!) eager to show off their skills. See you in the spring!
