| Upper Dauphin Elementary, Loyalton PA, March 24-28 |
 |
 |
| Teacher and student reunited as Black Pinto Horse Fine Arts arrives at Upper Dauphin Elementary to provide a week long Artist in Residence, titled, "Warrior Shields, Creating my own identity". Mrs Bonwit, a wonderful teacher and beautiful person, was a very influential art teacher to Emily and inspired her to pursue art in her educational career. |
Black Pinto Horse educated the students and staff about his paintings; the symbols, colors and objects that work together to tell a story of his people. |
|
| The shields were bright and colorful, well designed and told their classmates and community who they were. Over 200 people attended the Thursday evening presentations of art, dance and exchanging of cultures. Many students chose to explain the meaning of their creation. |
 |
| After Black Pinto Horse demonstrated his own traditional dance wearing his regalia, he involved the students and parents by teaching them the round dance and rabbit dance. A huge success on everyone's part! Thank you! |
 |
 |
| During the evening presentation the third and fourth grade students look for their shield creations and admire others. |
Cool times; learning about the Native American history and sharing each others. |
 |
 |
| The students had one week to complete their warrior shields while learning about the First Nation culture and sharing their own. The children worked at an incredible pace and had been prepared quite well by their art teacher Mrs. Bonwit. Before Black Pinto Horse arrived, she introduced the Fauvism movement, better known as "Wild Beasts"; the style that Black Pinto Horse studied and made his own by adding shapes and symbols of his traditions. |

| Visiting with the admirers of your work is a great reward for the many hours that are dedicated to each piece. |
A story will soon be told with the completion of this piece, "Lead Pony". Black Pinto Horse worked on this piece during the market days, with a few interested buyers before it was finished. |
The large crowds of the Indian Art Market exhibit the shows success. Crowds view the demonstrations by artists in the courtyard as well as grab a bite to eat. We were blessed by beautiful weather with temperatures in the 80's. |
