Dynamites indeed come in small packages ‼

Have you ever heard of www.artsonia.com? Well, it’s an art site where students can not only post the artworks created by them but also create their individual fan clubs. The site has overgrown in popularity since its inception and today there are some 500 million works of art posted on this site from the students from over a 100 countries. Now this is some site that needs to be visited.

But this site isn’t the highlight of this post. What this brings to the limelight is the fact that recently a fifth grader from Moorhead beat almost thousands of kids who had posted their art work on the site and won the coveted “artist of the week” award. The award is given to the artist whose work gets the maximum votes in the online polling.


The kid who won this prize, Thomas and his art teacher Michelle Sailer together won $150 worth art supplies as the reward in recognition of the award. Thomas is a student of Reinertsen Elementary school in Moorhead.

Allen Carr’s easyway to stop smoking books are one of the best selling books on how to stop smoking. It explains in easy language on how to free yourself from smoking.

The site has been named as the world’s largest art museum for the kids and as stated earlier, it attracts entries from the kids all over the world. It is a unique medium of sharing works of art and providing the incentive to the kids to enhance their creativity.

A moment of celebration also came for Dana Carlson, the principal of Clara Barton Hawthorne Elementary School, who was named the Region 5 Regional Principal of the Year. This recognition was granted to Carlson by the North Dakota Association of Elementary School Principals.

Robert Kelly’s TheatreWorks Receives Recognition at Palo Alto City Council meeting

Recently TheatreWorks received special recognition by -- being called a “treasured cultural icon” at a Palo Alto City Council meeting. It also won 7 theatre critics awards in San Francisco. The achievement reminded Robert Kelley of the beginning of the TheatreWorks.

Robert Kelley was an energetic creative writing grad with a lot of innovative thoughts in his mind. He started a new theatre endeavor in 1970 in Palo Alto. His trademark style has always been Elizabethan-style garb that with trimmed goatee which made him look like Shakespeare.

Kelly was constantly supplied with new ideas from Emerson a passionate mountaineer. He was Kelly’s colleague and they spent a lot of quality time in the newsroom discussing about the theatre and its growth and development. He was supportive as well as an honest critic of Kelly’s writings.

Emerson at the age of 22 joined Robert Kelley in his theater activities and became a part of their small troop. After his death his successor John McClintock followed him and assisted Kelley in the work.

Robert Kelley feels that theatre is a collaboration of minds. He thinks himself lucky of having a person like Emerson in his group decades ago and has till date not found any one who matches his style. He constantly looks for people who want to form theatre groups and fuel fine arts.

Kelley has managed to give the world 40 years of his creativity through his writings and theatre shows.
