This year we are pleased to showcase the creative artwork of elementary and high school students from Vista Oaks Charter School in Lodi. In celebration of the Sandhill Crane Festival students learned about these incredible birds and the migration they make every year into the Sacramento and San Joaquin Valleys.
The 16 high school students that joined the art club to participate in the festival were given the theme of “Birds of the San Joaquin Valley” and chose their favorite bird to research and then recreate it in collage.
The Elementary students joined in the fun to create collages across 3 different bird projects. Seventeen 4th and 5th graders captured the California Quail, thirteen 2nd and 3rd graders brought the Mountain Bluebird to life, and the thirteen youngest creators in 1st and 2nd grade did a great job recreating the Acorn Woodpecker.
Special thanks to Art Teacher extraordinaire Ms. Kristen Hatch for her outstanding work to educate and inspire her students.
The Art Show can be viewed on Friday from 6 to 8 PM, Saturday from 10 AM to 4 PM, and Sunday from 10 AM to 3 PM.
Each year, Lodi-area students create artwork inspired by Sandhill Cranes, migration, and local wetlands. This year’s theme is “Mokelumne & Cosumnes River Wetlands: Helping Migrating Birds.”
Funds for art supplies are provided courtesy of the Lodi Sandhill Crane Association.
The Sandhill Crane Festival is accepting original artwork for the festival Art Show.
Entries and payment will only be accepted online.
