Leggee Elementary Art Show Lets Families Experience a New Dimension

Leggee Elementary’s Annual Art Show, whose theme this year was “Honey, I Shrunk the Students,” featured over 4,000 pieces of artwork created by student artists from kindergarten through fifth grade.

Art teacher Cindy Rich said the work was collected all year long and students chose which works to display.

The artwork focused on specific time periods, art elements and principles, or artists and their techniques, features a variety of art mediums displayed in the school hallways.

Students worked together to create a 25-foot tall school mural in the gym and giant papier-mâché sculptures on display Monday and Tuesday. Rick said students and teachers worked together on the mural.

Rick hosted the show with fellow art teachers Beth Sund and Jen Johnson.

“Everything is mind-blowing,” Principal Scott Iddings said. “The art team here is amazing,” he said, adding the art show is one of his favorite events at the school.
