| Sketch by Grace "I drew the zero like that because it represents the ball drop. I colored the other numbers solid, so you can focus on the zero." |
B day is art day for fifth grade. That means bringing in a sketchpad with a drawing of something . . . it could be a realistic interpretation, a cartoon sketch, or even a colorful design. This week we celebrated the New Year and artists drew the numbers 2016 in a fun way.

| Sketch by Ashley "2015 is in the past and 2016 is moving in." |
We are learning how to give an artist statement to the class. This will give the audience more information about the drawing and get everyone excited about what is being presented. Here are a few examples of our New Year's sketches and the words of the artists describing what they created.
Happy New Year everyone!

| Sketch by Brandon "2016 sped in, riding on the exhaust of a car!" |
 |
| Sketch by Maria "Each number is filled with something you might have done during the year. The 2 means all of the crazy things you did last year. The O means going to the beach. The 1 is everything in your house. The 6 stands for your friends and family." |
 |
| Sketch by Tyge "Once upon a time there was a sad buffalo. He was bored all the time. On the last day of 2015 he was surprised when the ball dropped on him and he became AWESOME!" |
 |
| Sketch by Hamin "I drew fireworks to celebrate 2016. Soon it will be the Chinese New Year and it is the year of the Monkey." |
 |
| Sketch by Colette "I was experimenting with dimension. I wanted the numbers to stand out on the page. |
 |
| Sketch by David "I wanted the numbers to look like 3D birthday candles." |

Tyge is very expressive and colorful. Maria love thinking about the beach this time of year! Brandon I agree about the new year "speeding" in. Ashley I like the illusion of 2016 replacing 2015.
