Chalk Fest

Kylee was invited by the art teacher to be the captain of the Lewis Chalkfest team. The chalk competition, held on March 31st, was part of the Los Leones Student Arts Festival that included music performances by various high schools and artwork displayed by students in elementary, middle, and high schools.  

The art teacher gave chalk to Kylee so she could practice at home on our driveway and porch. These were here practice drawings. 
The Bob Lewis Chalkfest team included Sydney, Kylee, Kenna, Kaeylan, Daniel, and Mrs. Owens.
The team is given 2 hours to complete their drawing with the theme "Cats in the Wild".  Kylee was the one assigned to outline the drawing and then her and the team each had assigned parts to shade in.  
 
This was the final product.  Everyone who walked by "oo'ed" and "ahh'ed".  It was on par with the middle and even some high school drawings.  We were all very impressed.
These are some of the drawings from the middle and high schools.
There was also a large indoor display where there were about fifteen to twenty select art projects from each school.  Kylee and Julia both had a project on display there.  
There were plenty of other activities to keep the whole family entertained during the festival.  
Luckily there was face painting and lots of treats and snacks to keep them entertained.  
Brayden did not want to get his face painted, but he was very anxious to meet the nickel.
