See Your Artwork During the Performance!
The JSO wants your child’s art to be a part of our performance! We invite you and your children to draw your favorite scene and we will project it on our giant screen during the performance of music from the film! Choose a scene from Frozen, The Avengers, The Little Mermaid, The Lion King, Beauty and the Beast, Mary Poppins, Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone, Hamilton, or The Chronicles of Narnia. We created a worksheet to make it easy for you. Be sure to include the artist’s information so we can give them credit for their work! Gather a group of children to create drawings, take their picture with their artworks and upload it that too! Having difficulty uploading your file?
