Kindergarten, 1st grade, 2nd grade, 3rd grade, and some of the 5th grade have been working on drawing from observation in art class at Williams Elementary. Fruit still lifes were set up around the room.
The first two weeks students practiced with fake apples and pears. During the last week of drawing the tables were filled with real fruit including apples, oranges, lemons, limes, mangos, pineapples, and one cantaloupe. After the week of drawing, Leaderslips were pulled to find out which students would get to go home with the real fruit.
Leaderslip winners were Vincent Webb, Zamarion Ford, Estherly Pierre, Vivian Fairchild, Noelle Johnson, Karter Wilford, Makailynn Ghaziani, Rhett Bradley, and Savannah Ifft. Each went home with one of our big fruits and our little fruits were handed out at random to other students at dismissal.
