In class I drew a pear and it took me four days to get it right. I thought of the assignment as an art challenge. I worked hard to meet the challenge. I learned about values 1 - 5 and how they can make things look real. My teacher explained how to look at the pear to find all the values. it took a long time to get it just right.

I like art. Art makes me happy. In my sandwich collage I included some of my favorite things such as sausages and vegetables. I like vegetables even though most kids don't. I think more kids should eat vegetables so they will grow tall and strong. I would like to share my sandwich with my best friend Janice. She likes vegetables too!

I want people to feel happy and hungry when they look at my artwork. I think it will make people want to eat things.

My artwork is of my favorite food, a delicious bowl of ice cream. I chose this subject because I enjoy doing artwork that people like to look at...and I know everyone loves ice cream!

I was inspired to do this work when an artwork in a museum "caught my eye." It was a simple drawing with only an apple on it. Although it was ordinary, the techniques the artist used were incredible, so I decided to create a fruit bowl of my own.

I left a bitten apple outside overnight and saw that on the following day, it was a delight for black ants. It became the theme for my colored pencil and soft pastel drawing. I "blew up" the size of the apple and the ants. I inserted a spoon to represent the apple stalk and symbolize a feast.

I took advantage of the fruit collage project to improve my gradation and application of colors. I derived great satisfaction because it received positive comments from my school audience.

I like trying new art designs. Zentangles are relaxing and fun to create.

I love drawing the world around me and drawing from imagination. In class we looked at artwork by Cezanne and then drew our own fruit bowls from still-lifes. I enjoyed mixing and blending oil pastels.

I painted some fruit on a gorgeous plate I have at home. The fruits on the plate come from different places. The grapes are from the breathtaking, scorching outskirts of Italy. The oranges are from the sunny coasts of Florida. The plate is a handmade work of art from China. All of us come from different backgrounds. We all have different stories and features. Nevertheless, together we are all beautiful. Together, we are a unique composition, like different fruit on a plate.
