Amazing art and perfect timing for Halloween. Excellent work providing depth perception with the table edge in the background (including great detail continuing through/behind the mug handle), and the top oval of the mug holding the marshmallows. The heat lines, shading on the mug, and what looks to be a stained glass window backdrop are beautifully done. Fantastic work Bennett!

Hey Ben-Ben
. If that’s a steaming hot cup of hot chocolate for Halloween, that’s beautiful. Love the way you even made the little steam marks coming out of the top. And of course, your cup looks like a pumpkin face! Great job, Ben.

This artwork is amazingly detailed. The carefully crafted outlines around each component show incredible patience. Extending items from the pool deck to the background takes great skill and thought. You're showing continuous improvement on every piece. Fantastic work Bennett!

Taking a wild guess here, but this looks like a scene from the backyard at home. The action is great, but the deep colors of the sky, sun, and grass stand out and highlight the scene. The undulations of the ground provide great realism. Hope to see this artwork in action soon. Great creativity Bennett!

This may be your most impressive piece yet. The hand-drawn frame, lines representing the movement of the wings, and the high details of the subject matter shows planning. This also requires a high degree of hand-eye coordination. Beautiful work Bennett!

The perspective of the owl sitting on the branch is well thought out, and the moon showcasing the different shades of blue in the night sky are outstanding. Great work Bennett!

Hey Ben. Nice job on your owl. I like the way you’ve contrasted the red owl with that dark background. Makes him look kind of scary. I feel like he’s looking right at me! Keep up the good work, bud.

The amount of time and care put into this piece is evident. The uncolored areas (negative space) are just as impressive as the featured vibrant sections. Looks like this could be made into puzzle. The bright colors mirror your personality Bennett!

Great looking croc Ben Ben. Those teeth look ferocious and it looks like he has a good dentist! If I had to run into a croc , I’d like to run into one like this , that looks like he’s smiling! Great job Ben.

Fantastic depiction of a giraffe Bennett! The spots are perfect, and the way you made the ear 3-dimensional shows excellent depth perception. The blue sky and leaves surrounding the page complete the piece. Excited to see your future works.

Bennett I love this drawing of a giraffe. It is spectacular! One of your best pieces of artwork to date. I see that you had a class project for the book Giraffes Can't Dance. It is a wonderful story. I am glad your teacher selected this one.

Hey Ben, Ben! Your house looks good enough to eat! I think only the gingerbread house we built at school together had more candy on it !! I like the smoke coming out of the chimney and I like the lights that are around the point of your house. Nice job, buddy.

The walkway, snow drifts, lights, bushes, candy canes, and chimney with smoke show great thought and creativity. Excellent artistic expression!

Perfect timing during the fall season as Halloween approaches. Great work showing the pumpkins in the foreground and background, and hopefully you get the opportunity to visit a pumpkin patch in person. Love the artistic progress!

Bennett this pumpkin patch is spectacular! It's great that you included a variety of sizes like a real pumpkin farm. You did an amazing job on this. The blue sky and sunshine are a nice touch. Makes me want to head out and pick a pumpkin.
