​Hello everyone! I hope you and your families are all healthy and doing well!

In this time away from the classroom, it is important for us to continue our education so we don't fall too far behind!

With art, we can also have conversations without having to be in the same room! I'd like to start our first week by having a DRAW-OFF !!
Using our favorite classroom activity-- WHATCHAMADRAWITS !!
See below for your list!

​If you don't know what something looks like complete a Google Image Search. Use the website https://images.google.com and type in the word then click search! 

Set a timer for one minute and use ANY material you have available to draw each of the following, taking a picture of each one when you get done.

You can do this using sidewalk chalk, ketchup on a plate, pencil, markers, crayons, and paper, a stick in dirt or mud, ANYTHING!!

To make it more fun, challenge a sibling, parent, grandparent, friend, or anyone to a draw off to see who can draw the following the quickest!

1. A triceratops riding a unicycle!
2. Your favorite teacher doing a cartwheel!
3. A lizard playing basketball!
4. Your favorite superhero as a ballerina!
5. A helicopter made of pizza!
6. Your favorite animal eating a popsicle that is melting!
7. A bowl of spaghetti made of worms and beetles!
8. Your best friend playing the tuba while riding a motorcycle!
9. A dolphin going grocery shopping!
10. Your favorite book character riding a magic carpet!
