The news came into our house like a freight train and the celebration has begun! Alexis received third place in a South Carolina State art contest!
Several weeks ago, Alexis was asked to participate in a art contest called “Reflections.” The elementary school where she attends asked certain children to participate and Alexis was asked to participate in two categories: art and film.
As many of you know, Alexis is the artist in our family. Her abilities are definitely God-given, because Carrie and I cannot draw a stickman much less a picture. The art section consists of creating a picture based on the theme, “Beauty is…” The film production was based upon the same theme, but Alexis had never done a film so the fun was about to begin.
When the projects were submitted to the school, Alexis won first place in the school in the art and film categories! Since she was first place her projects would be sent to the state level. Several days later, the email came into school that Alexis had won third place in the state of South Carolina!!
Below are copies of her film and art project!! Congratulations Alexis!!!
The film production below was designed by Alexis with no adult assistance. I taught her the program and where to find the pictures and music. The next day she sat down and created the film in approximately 30 minutes. (The pictures used were taken from our personal collection over the years)
The picture below was created by Alexis without any adult assistance. The picture is of Alexis’ teacher, Ms. Hartwell.
Congrats Alexis!!
Just another day in the Gallagher Adventure!
Thanks for stopping by,
Chris
