My picture has a daytime and nighttime. My heart is rainbow! I love my art project. A part of my heart is very squeezy.
I chose art because it is never perfect. You can never make it perfect. But it is always pretty good and it is fun to make.
Aloha oe is a saying until we meet again! My visual drawing is where I'm from and I am saying until we meeting again to the natural beauty of Hawaii! I love it and miss it! The drawing represents my grandfather and I out fishing and the sun represents a great day ending of a sunset. The volcano in the back ground is a symbol of new islands in formation.

The Titanic was beautiful but it wasn't perfect. It should have made the compartments in the bottom better. If it hit something and got a hole, it would have still floated and would still be able to make it to New York.

Accepting that this is not a perfect pony but it is still a good pony!

When I first thought of what to do for my art, I thought of painting, but didn't know what kind of painting. I thought about dropping paint onto a poster board with a dropper. I tried several other ways of painting including blowing through a straw to blend the colors.
Even though I am not a perfect artist, I can still share something from my heart. That is part of accepting imperfection. I don't let my imperfection stop me from continually trying.

Nothing is perfect. I can not draw a picture that is perfect. You can not draw a picture that is perfect. But you can draw a picture that is as good as you can draw and that can be perfect if you think it is. You can not sculpt, paint, or anyone else that includes art perfect. That's ok. Neither can I. Neither can anyone else. I would still think it would be good. You can too.

I drew a self portrait of me because I am not perfect but I am beautiful just the way I am.

The reason I drew this Tulip is because not a single tulip is perfect, just like we.

I have come to know that everybody is not perfect. The differences in all of us are what makes us unique. I think by just being YOU that is enough and simply beautiful. My artwork displays that flowers aren’t the same but they show beauty just the way they are. One flower is beautiful by itself but when put together with other flowers it makes a Masterpiece. We need everybody’s beauty in this life!

I made this for reflections because in sports I make mistakes but I don't give up. I keep trying and I practice hard. Every day I practice to get better. The sports I play are soccer, basketball, volleyball, softball, and tennis.

My picture is about an imperfect tree that looked like an umbrella. One evening, a storm hit. There was a little white and black bunny who was cold, wet, and needed shelter. When he saw the umbrella tree, he ran under it and fell asleep for the night under the tree's dry, warm shelter. This story relates to the theme by showing that imperfect things can lead to good things, even though it may not look good.

The theme accepting imperfection made me think of a Christmas tree. I chose to do a Christmas tree because it’s very frustrating to put one up and you could never get the branches perfect. The ornaments are also impossible to get perfect. Even though Christmas trees are very imperfect, they are beautiful and my family loves them.

Bob isn't perfect but Bob is proud of that, everybody aceprs him none the less.

I painted this because it reminds me of our family trips when we are driving home during sunset. I like using water colors because the colors combine in ways crayons don’t.

There’s many things wrong with night and day but they balance.
Kenzi T, Age 10
I drew this because even if your day isn’t perfect, a smile always makes it better.

The boy is sad and miserable when he's thinking that his life is bad, but when he's thinking it could be worse and is accepting imperfection he's happy.

When I first heard the theme I instantly knew this is what I want to do. I was exited to see if I would get first place in reflections in my last year at Lincoln Elementary, so I decided to think outside the box. While I was making this I thought about the things on my page and made sure they were 100% true. I wanted to show that I was imperfect but there were still good things about me. I hope this inspires people to be outing and show who they really are. Thanks to everyone who inspired me.

This painting reminds me of the theme accepting imperfections because when I look at some of the little details of my painting I can see the mistakes I made, but when I look at the painting as a whole, it’s not as noticeable. Sometimes in life, we can focus on all of the little imperfections in ourselves and others and mistakes we make or we can stand back and look at the whole picture and see the beauty in it.
Lucionna S, Age 11
When I was painting, I made a mistake. Instead of giving up and starting over, I decided to keep painting. I accepted my mistake or imperfection to make something way more creative than it was before.

My artwork relates to theme because you need to accept imperfections in math or else you'll never succeed. When I make a mistake in math I need to tell myself to try again. Making this art reminded me of one time when I was in math class &I tried a math problem & got it wrong. I had to do it again and again until I got it right. At first I got mad, but then realized that it helps me so now when I make mistakes I don't get mad, I just do it.

Sunrises are different every morning. They always have different colors. But we say those are perfect. How are they perfect when they really aren’t? Well they are perfect because imperfection is what makes everything perfect. Imperfection is what makes things unique imperfection is what makes things beautiful. That is why imperfection makes everything perfect.

This is a picture of the letter A, which is the first letter of my name. The left side of the A has 6 areas separated by black lines with opposite colors and patterns reflecting each other. The colors go together, even though they are opposites. The right side of the A seems to be glowing, and represents how even though it may be imperfect, it's still beautiful. This relates to the theme because if you just stop and reflect on all the great things you've done, the mistakes you made don't seem as important.

I did this art with NO erasing. That’s right. 0. Because I wanted to show that imperfections make things beautiful!!>3<
