It was very difficult not to choose this one, I tell you. It is VERY well done, and she has set the scene as viewed from above with various art implements on the desk. (she even included a Sharpie marker , which she knows I love) This student has strong artistic abilities, so I would expect more from her than others. What didn’t put her in the winner’s circle? Simply put, her colours were softly rendered in pencil crayon, not the big and bold that was part of the criteria, and her classmate’s winning piece took the letters of the sign just that much farther. I hope she isn’t discouraged by not winning this time, and I expect to see her there another time.
