Other students have a their work headed to the display cases at Ellis for all of 3rd quarter. Both groups feel ecstatic to have their artwork on display.
The Ellis Middle School Art Student Show is going to be distinctive. From color wheels to ceramic bowls to metaphorical branching, many different themes will be presented. For instance, Page Raymond has all three vivid color pieces in this show When asked what her favorite piece to do was, she could not make up her mind. She “just likes them all!”
Mariya, another student who has her color wheel coming to the show said, “I really like how my name came out.” That it sure did. Lidia, who also got her color wheel in the show said, “I just love painting. It was fun to mix the colors thereby making my own colors.”

On top of his art work getting in the show, Ezekiel will be showing casing his musical ability. While at his art table, Page stated that he wanted to become a professional pianist. “I have been playing for 7 years and I hope to get other gigs from this event.” His piano instructor, another local well known musical family member, Mrs. Muzik, gives him gigs that she things he can handle.
