Art night

It was fine arts night again at Thomas's and Frederick's school. Both produced dozens of amazing pictures in art class during this school year. Here is just a tiny sampling of there work. Here is some of Frederick's:
And here is some more of Frederick's:
Here is some of Thomas's:
And a bit more:
Prior to the performances, several students pretended to be various famous artists and demonstrated their art styles. Thomas was Andy Warhol. He acknowledged that his hair was not truly Warholian, but he did a good job giving biographical info and acting rather aloof and bizarre.
Here is a friend of Thomas's, Ashley, who was playing the part of a woman sculptor. (I'll ask Thomas tomorrow her name. I saw it but can't remember it now.)
After playing with the band (which, to be honest, did not hold as candle to Thomas's FIM ensembles), Thomas performed as Poseidon in the school musical. We had no idea Thomas was going to be in a play, let alone sing a solo. He was quite impressive, easily singing better than the other kids and actually doing a great job of taking his part seriously and being sympathetic. I had no idea he had it in him.
Here are the rest of the kids waiting in the wings for their parts and in the meanwhile singing as the Greek chorus.
This is Thomas's last year at Valley and I think, despite himself, he is going to miss it more than he now realizes.
