Last night we attended a reception at the Chapel Hill-Carrboro City Schools district Visions Art Show with Kat, to see which of her creations her art teacher had submitted. This is Kat’s interpretation of Totoro, an animated nature spirit from one of her favorite movies, My Neighbor Totoro, a sweet Japanese animated fantasy film about two young sisters, Satsuki and Mei, who meet Totoro and other friendly spirits while their mother is sick and in the hospital for an extended stay.
After the others went outside to watch Finn practicing cartwheels on the lawn, Kat and I lingered in the hallways to view and appreciate all the other art on display, so much creativity and variety from kindergarten to high school. We were the last to leave!
I’m not familiar with this movie, but I do like the colors Kat chose for her art project. It’s wonderful that schools expose kids to art (music, too!) at young ages. You never know when creativity will burst forth!
Sounds like a very sweet time, Barbara.
Lovely work, Kat! 👏🏼
I used to love to go to see our kids’ art shows, pageants and open nights. Always so fun to see the talent and creativity.
