Jacob (Grade 2)
It was Christmas Eve. We all fell asleep. Santa Claus came to my house, in secret, to give us gifts. He left quietly, afraid to wake us up.
Kira (Grade 7)
My art piece is called “A Warm Christmas Night.” It has a family in the picture on a Christmas night opening presents and having fun. The mom is baking warm cookies, and even Santa is peeking in at all the fun in the room. I wanted to make the art piece to seem warm and happy so I used bright color markers to draw it.
Jolie (Grade 6)
My piece is called Christmas Eve. It shows a tree surrounded by presents, which means that Santa has already been there and ate the cookies and drank the milk! I used markers to add texture and watercolor to the background so it can be soft.
Isabella, Katy, Jennifer (Grade 4)
These are the Christmas candles we drew. We drew this
picture because it brings us happiness and warmth, making us experience a pleasant Christmas.
Cathy, Natalie (Grade 4)
This piece of art is called “Wish Tree,” and we called it “Wish Tree” because we think everyone all should have a chance to wish and dream together at Christmas. The candles around the tree mean to bring light to the world.
Woody (Grade 2)
It is a Christmas-style restaurant. My parents and I came here for
dinner on Christmas Eve. There is an elegant environment and beautiful Christmas music here. We had a pleasant night.
Judy (Grade 2)
This is how we dressed our house for Christmas Eve. We had gifts under the Christmas tree, a warm fireplace, and gingerbread men on the table. Santa Claus was giving out gifts at one house after another, and he was about to come to ours.
Jade (Grade 2)
I think a lot about what gifts the reindeer is about to give me. It comes here, running, with a Christmas hat, and looks happy. I feel happy too. My heart becomes colorful, so I paint my background colorfully too.
