Choosing a piece

Each student may submit 1 piece of artwork that was created during class with The Marvegos, and this includes pieces done during Spring Break and Summer camps.

It may be difficult for you to choose a single piece to frame and exhibit, so here are a few tips:

1. Remember that this is an opportunity to encourage your child and to show them how much you appreciate their artwork. We hope that framing costs will not prevent parents from highlighting the works they really like.

2. The piece should be meaningful to the child, even if it is not our first pick for them. Often times we overlook the wonderful aspects of art that are personal to the child, and when they tell us about their work, we really find that it is the perfect piece. You might try asking your child to select 3 pieces he/she enjoys and then deciding which one would look best.

3. Don’t forget that you can ask friends, family members, and teachers for suggestions.

4. Of course, if you’ve already correctly framed a piece that was done after January 2017, you are welcome to use it for the exhibit.

5. Framed art pieces make great gifts for family members. You might decide on a piece that would be good to give to somebody special.
