Grand Prize Winner: Individual
Grand Prize Winner: IndividualCongratulations to Andreas, age 7! He is a prolific artist and loves gardening. We loved his attention to detail when drawing the life cycles of his favorite flowers. We were particularly impressed with how he drew the root systems on the plants! Andreas’ favorite flower is the sunflower.
This is all the seeds I could think of while I was drawing.
Sunflower lifecycle. It’s my favorite flower in the whole world because it’s so beautiful
This is the life cycle of the daffodils that grow every Spring in our garden
Congratulations to our Weekly Winners!
Week 1: Jacob’s Well Elementary
This is a flower at my house that’s growing by the creek. I enjoy looking at the flowers and it was fun to draw.
I was inspired by our school garden. We have onions and carrots growing. We also have a bucket of potatoes growing. When I watered the plants and I thought about how the water flows over the plants…see the water hose and water.
I was inspired by our field of flowers at my house. Outside of our gate, there is a whole field of bluebonnets.
Just 1 root can let the world fly!
The Plant Cycle
This is a picture of our garden. I was inspired by my dad because he is making a garden.
