My Artwork

I sat at my desk with so much excitement! Mrs. Lohr said it’s time for art. I drew a purple tent. When Mrs. Lohr took a look at my artwork, she said it wasn’t realistic and that purple was a color for people who died.

This made me cry. She didn’t like my art. Maybe I don’t know how to draw?

In the second grade, Mr. Barta told us we can draw anything we want!

I didn’t want to draw. I left my paper blank.

Mr. Barta walked around the room to look at our artwork. When he saw mine, he said in a soft voice, “the snowfall, how clean and white and beautiful.”

My heart felt happy and I looked forward to art class with Mr. Barta. I knew Mr. Barta would always encourage me to use my creativity.
