This was the inspiration art work for our 2022 YAM (Art Unites Us!) lesson plan but it fits with this years theme as well! Dream in Art! is a great theme because the artwork can be so personalized to everyone's individualized hopes and dreams. Martin Luther King share a dream of peace, where we all had equality. This artwork still inspires that dream for all of us and it reminds us that we still hope for that peace and equality.

First Place Cake in the the School Cake Contest!

# data[].attributes.body
This team of art club members took inspiration from Van Gogh to create a dreamy cake that won first place in the school cake decorating contest!

"I experience a period of frightening clarity in those moments when nature is so beautiful. I am no longer sure of myself, and the paintings appear as in a dream."

"I don't know anything with certainty, but seeing the stars makes me dream."

Vincent Van Gogh

This was a fun project inspired by Aleia Nay. We cut cardboard into cloud shapes and decorated the clouds with paint markers. We had a class discussion about dreams and watched parts of the movie, "A million dreams." We each wrote 3 dreams on our piece of cardboard and then decorated our cloud with acrylic paint pens. We used clips and strings to create a balancing mobile. It is hanging in the classroom by the door and whenever anyone comes in the room it dances and sways with the wind. We called this "floating our dreams...." Everyone is working on what they can and letting the mobile take care of the rest! This has been a very positive project!

This was our flyer that was passed out at the fall conference. We also made little cardboard clouds and wrote our dreams on them. We put the clouds together to create a collaborative sculpture! Luckily, Artist Corner had a rep from POSCA pens passing out free pens. The paint pens worked great on the cardboard!

This is a little rock and roll, but still fun for inspiration!

Lyrics

In the middle of the night
I go walking in my sleep
From the mountains of faith
To the river so deep
I must be looking for something
Something sacred I lost
But the river is wide
And it's too hard to cross

Even though I know the river is wide
I walk down every evening and I stand on the shore
I try to cross to the opposite side
So I can finally find out what I've been looking for

In the middle of the night
I go walking in my sleep
Through the valley of fear
To a river so deep
I've been searching for something
Taken out of my soul
Something I'd never lose
Something somebody stole

I don't know why I go walking at night
But now I'm tired and I don't want to walk anymore
I hope it doesn't take the rest of my life
Until I find what it is that I've been looking for

In the middle of the night
I go walking in my sleep
Through the jungle of doubt
To a river so deep
I know I'm searching for something
Something so undefined
That it can only be seen
By the eyes of the blind

In the middle of the night

I'm not sure about a life after this
God knows I've never been a spiritual man
Baptized by the fire, I wade into the river
That runs to the promised land

In the middle of the night
I go walking in my sleep
Through the desert of truth
To the river so deep
We all end in the ocean
We all start in the streams
We're all carried along
By the river of dreams

In the middle of the night

This video is so inspirational!

Lyrics

… I close my eyes and I can see
The world that's waiting up for me
That I call my own
Through the dark, through the door
Through where no one's been before
But it feels like home

… They can say, they can say it all sounds crazy
They can say, they can say I've lost my mind
I don't care, I don't care, so call me crazy
We can live in a world that we design

… 'Cause every night I lie in bed
The brightest colours fill my head
A million dreams are keeping me awake
I think of what the world could be
A vision of the one I see
A million dreams is all it's gonna take
Oh a million dreams for the world we're gonna make

… There's a house we can build
Every room inside is filled
With things from far away
The special things I compile
Each one there to make you smile
On a rainy day

… They can say, they can say it all sounds crazy
They can say, they can say we've lost our minds
I don't care, I don't care if they call us crazy
Runaway to a world that we design

… Every night I lie in bed
The brightest colours fill my head
A million dreams are keeping me awake
I think of what the world could be
A vision of the one I see
A million dreams is all it's gonna take
Oh a million dreams for the world we're gonna make

… However big, however small
Let me be part of it all
Share your dreams with me
You may be right, you may be wrong
But say that you'll bring me along
To the world you see
To the world I close my eyes to see
I close my eyes to see

… Every night I lie in bed
The brightest colours fill my head
A million dreams are keeping me awake
A million dreams, a million dreams
I think of what the world could be
A vision of the one I see
A million dreams is all it's gonna take
A million dreams for the world we're gonna make

… For the world we're gonna make

Youth Art Month is a national celebration and the schools in the Juab District gave students opportunities to appreciate art and develop creativity. JHS students went on an exciting field trip to see the All-State High School Art Show in the Springville Museum and toured the BYU Museum of Art. Mrs. Henry said the artwork they saw was amazing!

Mrs. Page’s Eighth grade students enjoyed creating and illustrating black out poetry. She said, “The kids told me they don’t like poetry, but really enjoyed this activity after they found poems that related to them or realized that poetry can be fun in different forms.” Mr. Watson from the junior high had students create health related artworks. They learned that art can be calming.

Second grade students at Red Cliffs Elementary created the animal/hint of habitat Molas (from Panama) scratch art. The 3rd grade made  Freaky Frog Fair books and Eric Carle animal/habitat pictures.  Mrs. Boyd did a cool season tree with her first grade. Students also celebrated springtime with drawings of rabbits and flowers.

Teachers can enhance every subject by making an art connection. BTS Art Specialist Maria Aagard puts in countless hours ensuring that elementary students in Juab School District learn the joy that comes from learning new art skills and using their creativity

Here are photos and newspaper article from the Celebration of the Arts.

I don't have photos of the perfromances, but you probably don't need those anyway.

Utah Division of Arts and Museums and National Endowments for the Arts Awarded Sponsorship for the 2nd Annual Community Celebration of the Arts on February 26.

Once again Arts teachers and instructors from the Juab School District and the communities it serves are preparing for the Celebration of the Arts.  Last year the Juab School District along with Juab Fine Arts Council held the first Celebration of the Arts here in Juab County. Since this was the first time anything like this had been done in our area, we didn't know what to expect. It was a huge success. Well over 1,000 people joined in the event that enriched our community and our culture. With over 130 performers in the Junior High Auditorium, and nearly 300 performers in the gym there was something for everyone to enjoy. Music, dance, theater and the visual arts were presented by artists from age 5 to over eighty. Over thirty community and alumni artists, and 100’s of students' artworks were on display in the cafeteria.

Since last year’s event was so successful the Utah Division of Arts and Museums and the National Endowments for the Arts will be sponsoring the event for a second time.

The front doors will open at 5:30 p.m. to the world of art with the Community, Alumni, and Student Art Exhibit at the 2nd Annual Celebration of the Arts. Over 40 community and alumni artists and art students representing every school in the district will have 100’s of  beautiful artworks on display in the Juab High Cafeteria throughout the event until 8:30 p.m.

Beginning at 6:00 p.m. in the JHS Gym, enjoy vocal and instrumental performances by the JHS and JJHS Bands, Orchestra, Concert and Madrigal Choirs, Mona Elementary and Nebo View Elementary Show Choirs. The Juab Fine Arts Council, and the JHS Musical Theater groups will perform scenes from Alice in Wonderland and You're a Good Man Charlie Brown. Award winning dancers will perform with the JHS ProVita, JHS Cheer and Stunt Teams, Releve Dance, Nebo Dance Academy, Lisa’s Dance Shoppe and Emotion In Motion Dance. The Sterling Scholars will also share their talents.

This event is sponsored by the National Endowment for the Arts, and Utah Arts and Museums, and endorsed by the Juab School District, Juab Fine Arts Council, and the Utah Youth Art Month Association. Laurel Adler from the Division of Arts and Museums called to congratulate us on the success of last year’s event and asked if they could feature this year’s celebration on their website blog.

In the words of Harvey Fierstein

“Art has the power to transform, to illuminate, to educate, inspire and motivate.”

Please join us for a wonderful evening filled with the magic of the Arts!
