April 30 was Arbor Day, and to celebrate the day and the importance of trees in society and the community, the Valley of the Caddo Museum hosted an Arbor Day art exhibit with local elementary schools.
Children ages 10 to 12 from area schools including Justiss Elementary, Episcopal Day School/Quest Academy and area homeschool group participated. The students used various mediums in their artwork â pastel, collage, natural items, watercolor and acrylic.
The artwork has been on display at the museum since April 30. The museum awarded prizes for first, second, third and honorable mention. The first place piece of art was âPinkâ by Ariana Gonzales, fourth grade.
