Observational Drawings

My students in Earle had never been asked to draw from real life before. This was the first time they had ever drawn from observation and I am super proud of their hard work and drive to "draw what you see and not what you know". This was a huge challenge for my students and they certainly failed in many ways. Failure is important to the creative process because every work of art is not always successful the first time. The beauty was that my students never gave up even when they failed the first time. I had many students coming in during recess to try and try and try. I love and admire my students for never giving up. Here is some of their work.
