Aspiring Young Artists Impression of the Arboretum in Austin, TX

Real Estate Agent with Coldwell Banker Realty ~ 512.750.6899

 

Our office landlords (CBRE) encourage their tenants to interact building a closer knit community. One event they sponsored in May to encourage networking was showcasing artwork of students aged 9-16.

In April, Kathryn Yu Art Classes held an outdoor drawing session by the Arboretum fountain in NW Austin. The 48 students were free to choose their own subjects to draw, but each sketch had to be completed in less than two hours. Their tools were pencil, brown or gray toned paper, white chalk and pen (optional).

 

12 finalists were chosen and are displayed in our office building from Thursday May 21st to Friday May 29th. CBRE viewed this contest as a vehicle to involve their tenants and asked us to cast a vote. Today, I and several others made sure we viewed each drawing and cast our votes! Can’t wait for the winner to be announced...it’s fun viewing our grounds around our office through these aspiring artists eyes. Thank you CBRE for involving us in the voting!!

The only drawing I tend to do are passable blueprints for homes or yard arrangements... This is out of my skill set. They did a marvelous job though!

I am awe struck by some of the talent those youngsters have.  I have a hard enough time drawing stick figures.

Hi Dorie --  it makes good business sense to create an inviting environment for those in our community.   More businesses should take note.
