One of my schools won a 5,000 art grant from Bounty paper towels. Our PTA president signed us up for the contest, and then people voted for the school on Facebook. The school with the most votes won. We did not win the grand prize, which was 25,000 dollars, but we were a finalist and therefore got 5,000 dollars. Along with the money, Bounty sent their Art Bus to my school. This morning, a big pink bus drove into the school's parking lot filled with art supplies. Each class rotated in and out of the bus until all of the classes got a chance to experience the Art bus.
One of the stations inside the bus was a bubble painting machine. Bubbles came out of the top and onto the paper underneath. Students wore ponchos to keep the paint from getting on their clothes.
Outside of the bus, there were tables set up where the students could draw while they waited for their turn to go inside the bus. The students really enjoyed today. Some of them told me that this was the most fun they have ever had! This was truly awesome.
