Adult Services and AEC Art Show On Dec. 1st Anderson Center’s Adult Services
and AEC Art Education Programs had their first
group art exhibit, “Do You See What I See.” . It was
held at the LCS Building (36 Cottage Street) in
Poughkeepsie (NY).
There was a steady stream of visitors to the show. I
enjoyed having the opportunity to speak with the fam-
ily’s of some of your artists, including Mikaila C’s
(Rm. 120) grandmother and the parents of Johnny R.
(Rm. 306). Thanks for Coming!
Our Noteworthy Cards were also on display at the
Art Show. I am happy to say that they were very well
received by those in attendance.
The show and cards were such a success that they will
continue to be on display at the LCS Building until
the end of January.
Thanks to all those that volunteered for the show
and congratulations to all of the artists. Without all of
your hard work there wouldn’t have been an art show.
Thank You!

Artist Birthdays for December
Winter Elves Recently students have been hard at work making the colorful “Winter Elves” that you will be
seeing around the school building. Below is a short description of the steps and techniques.
On Day 1 students began the project by creating the “Elves’ Shirt and Hat.” This was done
by first coloring a piece of white drawing paper with crayons. Over this students painted white
paint using a paintbrush. They then placed strips of newspaper across the freshly painted pa-
per to mask areas. Students then painted (with a color of their choice) over the top of entire
paper. When finished, they removed the newspaper strips to reveal the striped pattern.
On Day 2 the students painted the “Elves’ Head” and the “Background”. This was done by
using a stencil of the “Head” shape, paint and brushes. After this was completed, they re-
moved the stencil and chose another color paint to paint around the outside of their “Elf” to
create the background.
And on Day 3, students completed their “Elves” by tracing “Hat” and “Shirt” shapes onto
the back of the striped paintings they created on Day 1. They then used scissors to cut the
shapes out . They used glue to attach the shapes to the “Elf Heads” they created on Day 2.
Later they used tissue paper, construction paper, and sequins to decorate their Elves.
