Montessori Children's House
Framing for Charity Project - 2011
Art Land was approached by Montessori Children's House at Auchenflower to support their community kindy by framing two pieces of art work for auction at a fundraising Trivia Night.
The Montessori Children's House is a not-for-profit community run Playgroup, Kindergarten and Pre-Prep centre affiliated with C & K (Crèche & Kindergarten Association). The centre is located in Auchenflower and draws its students locally and from a wide area over Brisbane due to its excellent reputation and commitment to early childhood learning.
The children, (with some help) actually made paper and then decorated their own piece with leaf impressions, paint, string and other special items. These individual pieces were then fitted together to make a single, large collaborative artwork for each of the two classes.
We were very keen to help with this unusal and creative idea for art, and our design team worked with Montessori parents to frame the individual artworks in such a way as to preserve and showcase each piece.
The finished product was auctioned successfully in May at the Montessori Trivia Night.
"Thank you to our wonderful community sponsors. Please see the attached list of Game Prizes and Raffle Prizes from our fabulous local community supporters. Dont forget to mention you are from MCH when you frequent their businesses!
