Greetings from the art room (again)! For the past 2 1/5 months, a select group of students have been working on rodeo drawings. At the beginning of October I spent several hours at the George R. Historical Ranch to take photos that the students could use to create their compositions, and boy did they make those photos come alive. Every morning around 7 am, from mid October through mid December these kids, ranging from 2nd-5th grade, came to the art room to work on their gorgeous pictures. They each chose their photograph from those I had taken, and they worked on either black, brown, or beige paper, using oil pastels. The students were committed and vigilant in their efforts to reach their goals and make the December 17th deadline. I am blown away by their finished drawings. I have never worked with a more dedicated and creative group of kids then these. I might just be the proudest art teacher there ever was.
Right now I am in the process of submitting their pieces (15 total). They will be judged sometime in February and returned to me early March. I will then showcase them at school (because I have to brag about the kids a little) for a while, and then they will come home to live with you. I am so proud of them and honored to teach such a wonderful and creative group of kids. Check out their drawings below!
