9th Annual Elementary and Middle School Art Show is For Families

 One of the reasons the Seguin Art League sponsors their childrens' art show is to get the whole family involved in art. So, here are some family moments captured by famed photographer Nancy Kissiar (just kidding, how about by mildly-well-known photographer Nancy Kissiar)….


First, the fabulous Elbel sisters enjoying a moment together. I have to say that I love it when I see two sisters like this. Anyone looking at them can tell they are also friends. What a life success story.

Look at this…

Dad and Mom filled with pride, brother being a good sport, and young artist sister filled with pride...

This young lady painted the awesome sunset scene. She obviously has an eye for composition and drama. Also, she already knows she's good. You can see it in her face as she talks about her work. Her little brother adores her and she graciously shares her moment in the spotlight with him.

Now, this dad is raising his kiddos to do more than play video games and sleep late. Meet Dr. Al Burns of Alligator Dental. He and his wife Lisa are not only financial supporters of local art, they also include their children in their patronage. The kids showed up dressed as if the reception deserved their good clothes. Some day, these young people will be the movers and shakers of the next generation.

 The artist in this shot is the girl in the middle. Both of her brothers felt a need to share the photographer's attention. She doesn't care. They are family, after all.

Art is more than color and composition. It is heart and soul. Kind of like family, if you think about it.
