My second major contribution to the art show was the Art Show Brochures. From a parent’s perspective I found this would be “icing on the cake” so to say. As a mom, nothing is more thrilling then to see your child’s name in print, and from a child’s view (at least most of the ones I have encountered) it is also sooo exciting – when your name is in print it means you’re FAMOUS! In addition, I also thought it would be snazzy to have little pamphlets to hand out and something recognizing our accomplishments. So there are my reasons behind thinking we should have a brochure. As for making the brochure – let me tell you I am no publishing whiz and it probably would have helped if I knew more. As it was I started working on it after supper (so about 6-7pm) and worked on it until almost 2am, and that was the first night before I had everybody’s info. Even though it was time consuming, I thoroughly enjoyed the act of creating the brochure, and I am proud at the finished product. as I have said before, I enjoy creating and making visual things like this. This was definitely a learning experience for me as well because I have never created a pamphlet before. I tried to get templates, however, I couldn’t get them to work the way I wanted so I made my own template using a table. There were many problems with this template (like there was a third page that I just didn’t print and didn’t really have anything on it but when I tried to get rid of it, it screwed everything else up), but it worked well enough to get the product out.

You did a great job on the pamphlets. My students really liked them as did many others. I thought it was the added touch (plus the flowers) the made this an ey06 art show such a success. Great job!!
Thank you so much for doing that Cathy. It was totally the iceing on the cake and just looked great. As for making the kids feel famous, heck it made me feel famous! IMy name was in print too. And it even said "Mr". Plus, I got to sign one for one of my students which rocked. Thank you so much for doing that. It really added to the fair and my experience as well.:)
Cathy your brochures were beautiful and really added to the art show. Thanks for putting that together, it must have taken a long time....
Cathy I think everyone enjoyed the brochures. As a parent myself I enjoy anything that acknowledges my children and I think every parent who attended the art show was appreciative of the effort you put into the pamphlets. They looked really great, thanks!
The pamphlets were awesome and we were the first cohort to create them. After seeing the finished product it was suprising that no one had thought of using them before. Now future cohorts will be using your pamphlets as a template for years to come.
Professional job on the pamphlets from the colour choices to the layout. You were only given one night or so to created it - impressive. To have it all down in writing as a memento for parents and student of the evening - thanks!
