ARTPARK: SNOW TIME BY HEARNE ELEMENATARY SCHOOL FOURTH GRADERS

(ArtPark display at the Wilson County Arts Council)

I can't think of a better time to feature the new ArtPark poems and displays on the theme of Snow Time. The temperature is supposed to drop to 8 degrees tonight here in the mountains, and although we don't have any snow yet, we plan to spend the night huddled by the fire, dreaming about snow!.



As you can see in this post, Jane Wood has done it again, inspiring Wilson County students to write poems and create displays around the chosen theme. As she explains, "I discuss the 5 senses at length with my classes and the importance of listening to one's own inner voice. I then give the students a theme (such as "Snow") and allow them 10 minutes to write their thoughts. I tell them that they do not have to make complete sentences, nor do their thoughts have to rhyme. I want them to realize that poems often begin with a conglomerate of feelings about a given subject, and that originality is the keynote."

Featured in the current ArtPark displays are Hearne Elementary 4th graders, their work found in 3 ArtPark display areas - The Arts Council, Wilson Public Library, and the local YMCA. CONGRATULATIONS, HEARNE ELEMENTARY STUDENTS!
