P^ge 2 Spilyay Tymoo, Warm Springs, Oregon Museum displays children’s art By Selena T. Boise Spilyay Tymoo O p en in g night o f the Children’s Art Show at The Mu seum at Warm Springs featured art pieces created by the youth o f the community. In addition, storyteller Adeline Miller was present to tell stories, and James Greeley was on hand to play his well-known flute music for the public. This marks the tenth year of the annual display of children’s art in the museum’s changing exhibits gallery. Children have acquired their talents in art from their pre school years, cutting and past ing, painting, drawing and even the traditional artwork that con sists of beadworking. As they get older, they build on that talent, adding detail to their pieces, as seen at the children’s art show. Childhood Education Center, W arm Springs E lem entary, Je ffe rso n C ounty M iddle S chool, and M adras High School brought artw ork made by the youth of Warm Springs to the museum. This year’s exhibit ■includes traditional art work, modern art, and a mixture o f both. T raditional art in cluded beadw ork, dream catchers,' side purses, cradleboards, teepees, drum s, and miniature Indian-style suitcases. Modern art included the pen cil drawings, paintings, cutting and pasting, coloring, ceramics, and the paper cranes. The pa per cranes are o f special inter est, as children express their wishes on the display. And there is art that has a mixture o f both modern and traditional, including the eel dance display using paper dolls dressed in their wing dresses, chaps and vests for dancing, and the pre-school paper cradle boards. There is also an Indian village on display, which was made by a classroom o f chil dren. This exhibit is held annually to focus on the youth o f Warm Springs as individual artists. Each child who attended was given an art pack, consisting of drawing paper, construction paper, paints, and crayons, to practice their art and continue to be creative. The youth are talented and you will see "that when you see the display.
