Hola arts-X-press parents and friends! It feels like we started just yesterday, but we're already more than halfway through the week. Today started off early with a delicious breakfast of the frenchiest of toasts and scrambled eggs before the kids went to their Creative Expression classes to do some soul-searching and explore their personal abilities.
Right after we grabbed lunch, we took off for the Festival of the Arts in Laguna Beach. The Festival of the Arts was a paradise for the visual arts, with aisles upon aisles of Southern California's best artists displaying their works. Art pieces ranged from normal oil and watercolor paintings on canvas to glass sculptures to chairs made of recycled plastic bags, and some of the artists were on hand to answer student's questions. After browsing the art at the Festival of the Arts, we explored the backstage of Pageant of the Masters with the Pageant's electrical engineer and costume manager before heading to Heisler Park overlooking the beach for some games and pizza dinner.
At Pageant of the Masters, we marveled at the actor's abilities to hold their poses and enjoyed the wonderful music from the pit orchestra. Paintings at this year's Pageant of the Masters featured famous partnerships that ranged from Lewis and Clark to Frida Kahlo and Diego Rivera to Wilber and Orville Wright.
The students are looking forward to seeing everyone at the parent presentation, and they're definitely ready to show off their artistic abilities! This is counselor Jordan signing off! See you all tomorrow!
