An Adventure in the World of Art
Written by Kirstan and Teresa Lin
Photographs taken by Kirstan and Teresa Lin

Last week Kirstan Lin and I, Teresa Lin, students in the 5th and 6th grade class at Pacific Horizons School, went to the Jean P. Haydon Museum in Pago Pago to see the exhibition of student artwork. We did not want to miss this opportunity to observe and appreciate the creativity and talent of our peers. Schools from all over American Samoa contributed their best student-produced art that included sketches, paintings, handicrafts and other forms of art. Kirstan and I took photographs of the ones we thought were the best. After taking pictures, we also added some of their thoughts about the art we admired.

The following pictures have been selected by Kirstan.

Artist: Meredith DeWees
Level: 5
School: Pacific Horizons School
I thought this fantastic picture looked so fancy because the sun was shining out of the sky. I liked the way the sun was shining out of the sky because it blended in with the sky.

Artist: Daniel Saufo’i
School: SPICC
Level: 6
I thought this picture was very neat because this person put so much detail into his work, it was neat because he outlined it in black so that it’s easy to see.

Artist: Lela Nomura
Level: 7
School: Pacific Horizons School
I thought this picture was very amazing because it looked so old fashioned but in the good way; it looked old fashioned because it was all done in black and white.

The next few picure selections were selected by Teresa.

Name: Jordan Miliao
Grade: Five
School: Pavai'ia'i Elementary
I like the painting because it's nice and enjoyable because of its many attractive colors, and the design looks like it has flowers and fire around it.

Name: Josephine Leota/Mome Pulemagafa/Tai
Grade: Six
School: Olomoana Elementary
I like the painting because it is interesting. The artist used a lot of colors and it looks like the stained-glass windows of a church.

Name: Petelo Sio
Grade: Five
School: Pavai'ia'i Elementary
Why I like the drawing: I like it because it's very attractive, and it looks very real because there are a lot of colors in the sky like there are at sunset.

That concludes what we are showing in this entry I hope you enjoyed it, and remember that this is only some of the amazing artwork at the museum. Go and see for your self if you want. It's awesome.
