Item Description
[Our] children will attain a level of poetic expression [that] they will not see again for years. Indeed, many professional poets have said that they spend their adult lives seeking the natural and unselfconscious expression they had when they were ten. The best advice we can give you is to enjoy it, appreciate it, make the most of it. You will both remember this time. And you will not see its like again. --Matt Berman and Lori Mustille, 'The Parents Guide to 4th Grade'. For the 4th grade auction project, the students were asked to "Carpe Diem" (Seize the Day). They each dreamed up a meaningful mythological creature, drew it, wrote a poem about it, then filled it with the reflective art of Zen Tangles. Each Zenimal is one of a kind and absolutely stunning: drawn with white ink onto a modern charcoal gray tile then framed in a contemporary white floater frame. One frame filled with tiles from each class will be available for auction. Each Zenimal and poem will be published in a book that will also be available for sale to parents. But you can own the originals, perfect for display in a place of honor, by winning this item.
