Dunn School Art Show!

The Dunn School recently hosted two art shows which received rave reviews! Half of the students work was exhibited on Monday, March 29 and the other half of the budding artists had their creations displayed at the second art show on Monday, April 12th.

Works included drawings, pottery, paintings, people and animal portraits as well as white 3-D paper pictures. The display for the art show was a work of art in itself and was masterfully created by Steve Grannell, art teacher at the Dunn School. Thank you Mr. Grannell for the countless hours you put in to prepare for the show. Each student's work of art was easily visible and well displayed.

Congratulations to the students of Dunn School and to Mr. Grannell for an art show to be truly proud of!
