(Photo by MARY MALONE) As the school day came to an end on Nov. 21, more than 20 Idaho Hill Elementary students stayed for a long-standing monthly tradition — the After School Art program. The November theme was “Snowy Night,” so before getting started, the students closed their eyes and listened to a poem read by Renee Gamber, a paraprofessional at Idaho Hill and volunteer instructor for the After School Art program. The poem she read was about a person in the woods, near a frozen lake, alone with a little horse. It was snowing on the darkest night of the year. The students were instructed to picture the scene, then do a quick pencil sketch before adding color to their art with paint. Each student pictured the scene a bit different, as some saw the dark night as pitch black, while others saw it as a dark gray or shades of dark red, black and purple. The horse sometimes had spots, the frozen lake was sometimes blue, sometimes turquoise. Each work of art was, of course, unique.
