Deep Space Sparkle Art Lessons for Kids
This year’s art show will be unveiled tonight. I won’t be there. I’ll be watching my son do his thing in Ventura at a track meet. I’ll miss the excitement as the kids search for their piece of art. Pictures will be taken and parents will ask good art questions. These moments will [...]

Some schools have small lunchrooms and most have some sort of multi-purpose room, but ours was tiny. So we were able to build a brand new structure to house school plays, PTA meetings, [...]
Celebrating 25 artists from Mountain View and Brandon Schools. Congratulations to all my students for a creative and engaging year!
Tonight is the opening night of Mountain View’s Annual Spring Art Show. This is what the kids look forward to all year (well, at least as far as art class is concerned!). Each child has a piece selected for them (it’s a surprise until the art is mounted). PTA volunteers staple the art onto long [...]
I received this email from a Deep Space Sparkle reader regarding hosting a Family Art Night. I hadn’t done one in years and wasn’t even sure I could remember what I did, but a little searching through my old photos was successful in jogging my rapidly deteriorating memory! “I am planning a Family Art Event [...]
The school year has come to a close and for Brandon School,our first ART SHOWwas an end-of-the-year hit.All art shows are a labor of love…countless hours creating the art but an equal amount of hours sorting, selecting, mounting and hanging.
