Starry Starry Night Auction

We are so excited that you will be joining us for CCA's Starry, Starry Night Auction this Friday night.  Doors will open at 6:30 PM at the Colonial Golf & Tennis Club.  Here are just a few reminders for the evening:

• If you are looking for a great place to catch dinner before the auction, we recommend Squires Restaurant at Colonial Golf & Tennis Club. You can place a reservation at Squires by calling 657-3212 x22. 
• We will be accepting cash, check, Visa and Mastercard at the auction.   Cash or checks is our preference.  Checks are payable to CCA. 
• In addition to all the great auction items, we will also be selling ornaments made by CCA students and families.  Each ornament is $10.

Of course, the stars of the night are always the class art projects!  You can see these projects on display in the CCA lobby this week. 

Again, we are really looking forward to this event.  Please don't hesitate to contact Natalie Martin at x124 or via email with any questions.

Class Art Projects

 A Bench of Stars

The second grade class designed "brilliant" stars, which they carved and burnt into an oak bench, lovingly made by CCA parent, Paul Reeves.  Psalm

Starry Night Quilt

Each third grade student made a square, inspired by thoughts of a starry night, using gel glue as a resist and then painting over it with acrylic paint.  Debra and Donna Lohman, master quilters, then designed and made this amazing, washable quilt.

Van Gogh Collage

Fourth grade students spent weeks studying the color, value and movement in Van Gogh's Starry Night and matching them with small pieces of paper to create this mosaic masterpiece.

A Night Sky Lamp

The fifth grade class made a tin-pierced design based on the theme, "light in the night sky".  CCA father, Paul Reeves combined these aluminum panels into a sparkling lamp. 

Starry Night Tapestry

This tapestry is an amazing collaborative design of the 6th grade class and tapestry artist Brooke Teter.  The sky is decorated with stars, handmade by each student.  The landscape of this familiar painting has been transformed into a sea of curling cloth by Mrs. Teter, with accents by students.
