BLACK PINTO HORSE FINE ARTS
Walk down a trail of color, stories and heritage with husband and wife duo, Emily and Monte Yellow Bird. They will guide your students down this vibrant trail to new discoveries, creativity and self exploration using the springboard of art and culture, weaving together golden threads of history, math and science and trimming it with character building and healthy choices. As you trot down this trail together, they will invite you to share your accomplishment and set new goals as you compose visual art projects such as Mud Ponies, Warrior Shields, Ledger Art and Winter Counts. If you’re going to shine, shine brightly, Mr. Yellow Bird’s coined phrase is just what you will be doing as you exchange gifts while respecting and supporting one another.
