We had a wonderfully warm (relatively speaking -- it was 44 degrees) and sunny day today...a perfect day to go take Isaac's picture with his billboard. There was an awards ceremony on March 1st in which Isaac and the other two winners were honored for their winning entries. The theme of the contest for Youth Art Month was "Art: A New Way of Seeing." All of the Manitowoc 5th graders drew a design and the art teachers and someone from the billboard company served as the judges.
Here's the artist with his artwork -- wow! We've been told that when the billboard comes down at the end of the month, Isaac will get to take home the material it's printed on -- it's like a thin, sturdy plastic. I'll take any and all ideas about what we should do with it!!! Isaac said today, "I don't care what anyone says -- I'm saving this for my grandchildren!" Someone had the suggestion to wallpaper his ceiling with it -- a good idea, but his room isn't big enough. Isaac's teacher has decided we just need to build an addition to our home for it!
Here's a close up of it. It's amazing to be driving down the road and see this! Congrats Isaac!!!
Wow Wow Wow
ReplyDeleteThat is just great. I am sooooooo proud of you and what a great concept!
My first idea was to use it as wall paper too but on the walls all around his room. But the garage walls may be better than you can show people like a party room! Has the local art museum been contacted to see if they have a display area for young artists? you maybe you church would love a youth room done ala Isaac?
my only thoughts. But I would call the museum they may have suggestion on how to store it so nothing happens until you decide.
Wow again what a great job
Wow Isaac - I'm really proud of you. I like how you captured the concept! Tracy
