Largest Art Session


This might just seem to be a union of art lovers and enthusiasts. And yes do not think that it would mostly be students eager to learn art and fill in their creative illustrations with lovely colours. But rather it was a  three generation affair all pouring in to have some tips and insights on abstract art .
1,103 students at Lisa J Mails Elementary School  along with  their parents, grandparents  and community members took part in the art sessions conducted by fifth grade teacher Mary Eskridge. The whole concept of the world record was intended to celebrate art and enjoy the difference art makes in our lives. Eskridge  was honoured as the Teacher of the year in Murrieta Valley Unified School District. Eskridge added that teaching the art lesson was indeed a challenge as it involved the entire student body.
The  Principal Mutchnick- Jayx said that art stood more of paramount importance even more satisfying than a world record.
The abstract art was created on a 12x18 piece drawing paper. The art lesson lasted 30 minutes as dozens of volunteer supervisors verified that the participants were engaged in the lesson. The current record was set in September 2011 by 879 participants at a school in London. Just over 1,000 students attend Lisa J. Mails Elementary, a visual and performing arts-emphasis school.   The students displayed their creativity by colouring with crayons.ASB President Zachary said that it was a day to make history together.
The largest art lesson counted to 1,103 students set by Murrieta High School at Murrieta, California, United States of America on March 11,2012.
