A pre-apple activity for the 2014 Children & Parents Day was hosted in Kathy Wilsher's first grade class at Trinity Lutheran School in Delray Beach.  Children & Parents Day: Celebrating the Apple Fruit will be held on Sunday, February 23, 2014 at the historic Boynton Woman's Club.

Kate Marra won the Gold, Violet Orozco was awarded the Bronze medal and Cohreena Mondesir received the Bronze.  Mrs. Wilsher coordinated an actual ceremony where the three students received medals and the class stood and sung the National Anthem.

The Children & Parents Day program has expanded to include an artist-in-residence with the purpose of an artist visiting a class to teach an art activity connected to the theme of the annual Children & Parents Day.

 

German artist Inge Behrens was selected as the artist-in-residence for the 2014 Children & Parents Day.  On February 13, 2014, Ms. Behrens visited 22 first-graders at Trinity Lutheran School where they learned about apples, art, Behrens' German Lutheran ancestry and the geographic location of the Country of Germany.  Inge was born in Bremen, Germany and there received a classical European Education. Behrens completed an apprenticeship in fashion design in Europe and became a designer with "Martina Modelle" in Hamburg, Germany.  More than 40 years ago she moved to San Francisco, California with her husband and raised her children there.  She now resides in Palm Beach County, Florida.

 

Behrens provided to each first-grader apple sketches that she drew and signed.  Some of Behrens' apple sketches were expressive with faces. The first-graders selected among Behrens' apple sketches that were bitten apples, butterflied apples or whole apples.  Students then used their creative imagination to design their apple sketch with markers and crayons.  The creativity flowed from the first-graders who colored the apples in every design and color imaginable that had polka-dots, decorations with raindrops, apples with trees, and apples with curls, loops, twist and turns.  Some apples were purple and other apples blended the colors of the Red, Gala, Golden and Granny Smith apples.  Behrens' brought as a gift for the class the Red, Gala, Golden and Granny Smith apples that were displayed during the art project.

 

As an ode to the Winter Olympics 2014 in Sochi Mrs. Wilsher added to the classroom curriculum the Winter Olympic Games with her classroom decorated with flags representing other countries and the Olympic rings.  The Olympic theme continued with the apple-art project, where Inge Behrens served as judge to select the apple-art projects worthy of Gold, Silver and Bronze medals.  Kate Marra won the Gold, Violet Orozco was awarded the Bronze medal and Cohreena Mondesir received the Bronze.  Mrs. Wilsher coordinated an actual ceremony in her class where the three students received medals and the class stood and sung the National Anthem.

As a pre-activity for the ninth annual Children & Parents Day: Celebrating the Apple Fruit, first-graders at Trinity Lutheran designed apple sketches created by German Lutheran artist Inge Behrens.

The annual Children & Parents Day has evolved into Palm Beach County’s premier cultural culinary event for kids and their families mixing arts activities, kids cooking classes and culinary demos for the whole family.

The apple fruit has landed the lead role in the ninth annual Children & Parents Day which was developed by the non-profit Museum of Lifestyle & Fashion History.  The 2014 Children & Parents Day: Celebrating the Apple Fruit is serving as a prelude to National Nutrition Month and offering continued support to the State of Florida’s Viva Florida initiative.

For the February 23^rd Children & Parents Day, returning as presenting sponsors are Target and Kingston Fresh, a produce company.  New sponsors for 2014 are Coca-Cola and Blue Bell Creameries.  Continuing supports is from the Patricia Ann Ravo Fund and the Boris & Edith RuegerFund. 

In addition to food, a wide variety of educational, arts and crafts activities with an apple fruit theme are available at the event.  Plus, local Palm Beach County artists will host interactive apple-themed make-and-take art activities.  Some of the featured artists are Barbara Lentz of Art-Sea Living Gallery in Boynton Beach and Inge Behrens of Boca Raton, Florida.  There will also be artists’ participation from the Boynton Beach Art in Public Places.
