Color of Music Contest




Aeneas Internet-Telephone recently sponsored a Color of Music contest. The Color of Music is an education project presented by the Jackson Symphony. The contest is open to students in grades K-8 in the Jackson-Madison, McNairy, Crockett, Haywood, Weakley, and Gibson/Trenton SSD school systems. The entries are the students' own artistic interpretations of selected classical music pieces. All of the paintings will be on display at our local mall, the Civic Center, and West Jackson Baptist Church.

I mention this contest for a very simple reason. Our grandson Luke's picture was selected to represent his school, Nova Elementary. Luke is in kindergarten at Nova. Luke loves to draw, but usually draws baseball stadiums with great detail. So, when I saw this picture I was surprised to see a more abstract side of his art. The title of his painting is Person on Drums. To see the other pictures entered in the contest follow this link:
