This is a very fierce-looking rabbit!! -- Aunt Shelley

I like that the pumpkin is bigger on one side than the other. That's how lots of real pumpkins grow. The lighter color on top makes me think of frost in the fall. -- Aunt Shelley

Wow, that squirrel looks VERY focused on...something, maybe a nut? Love the curly bits in his tail. -- Aunt Shelley

My favorite part of this piece is that it is winter weather and we got to get our hands messy! My least favorite is the small cardinal with the big head. My inspiration for creating this was using everything I know about birds and trees to complete a real picture. If I could change anything, I would make the biggest cardinal differently. I learned how to make the snow look realistic. It surprised me that how in the end, we took a brush and flicked paint onto the page and it looked the way I wanted it to. We used brushes and paint and our hands to make this picture.

My favorite piece about this artwork is that we got to decorate the string with beads. My least favorite was how the red string clashes with the red paper. My inspiration was just having fun and seeing what happened. If I were to make it again, I would choose a different color paper to start with. I learned how to work with string and paper at the same time while creating this. We used a plastic needle, threaded the yarn with beads and pulled it in and out of the paper until we filled it up.

My favorite piece of this artwork is how the line moves. My least favorite piece of this artwork is that I couldn't leave the background blank. My inspiration was rainbows. If I were to make this again, I would change the background to be an extension of the colorful lines. I think it would be more exciting this way. I learned how to stack lines and make them all look like they are in motion. We used markers, and drew the lines with Sharpies, and then filled in the background with shapes and squiggles.
