An artist’s ability to take a simple concept and expand it into multiple mediums that can connect with hundreds of people never fails to amaze the viewer. At Bailey’s Elementary School, teacher Allyn Kurin took such common items as fabric pieces, wooden pickets, and plywood panels, to tell family stories of the students who attend the school. Other teachers and staff were joined by volunteers who helped the children turn their stories into art. The Community “Art Reach” Celebration was held last week before an appreciative audience of parents and families.
