We will be exploring the theme of “Childhood Dreams” through various mediums of art. Each piece in the exhibit has been chosen to represent the theme and provide a profound experience.

The colors in the painting are not bright; the use of dark grays and greens gives the piece a mixed value. Only a delicate use of red is used in background drawings and on her dress. Many of Lagardes’ pieces involve deep nostalgia of childhood. She creates beautiful portraits of children surrounded in their own creative imagination. Innocence we lose as we reach
