: Moonlight Camping – Multi-media “In the summertime, I enjoy camping with my family. The piece I created has an orange tent, green moss, trees and a moon. It also has mountains and stars in the background. I used an old sweatshirt for the tent, small twigs for trees and real moss for the ground. I also used birch bark for the moon and some paint for the background. The tools I used include a paint brush and a hot glue gun. It took about a week to make, and I enjoyed the process. I was inspired by other people doing pieces similar to this. I wanted to do this piece because I always like painting. I added a 3D aspect to this painting by adding the moss, twigs, and birch bark. I used my head to think of the materials that I would need; like birch bark to represent the moon. My heart was used by my love for the outdoors. I used my hands to create this piece. The fourth ‘H’ represents health. To maintain my mental health, I took a moment out of my day to relax and create this piece.” – Meghan K

: Pinwheel – Paper “I made this with paper, scissors, a brand new pencil (with an eraser) and tacks. I got a piece of paper, folded it into a triangle and I used the scissors to cut the triangle. Then I drew a circle exactly in the middle. Then I cut all the way to the circle. Then I took every other end and folded it in to the middle then stuck the tack through onto the pencil eraser.” – Audra L.

: LOVE in cross-stitch “I cross stitched this. I used a pattern for some of it and did some of it on my own. I threaded the needle and followed the pattern until I wanted to do it on my own. It took me a long time. I painted the frame and I stuck the cross stitch piece in. Then my mom had to help hammer the back part in. I sent to my grampy with letters from my siblings.” – Audra L.

: Dodge Ram in Pencil “This is Dodge Ram. I’m working on drawing jeeps, trucks and SUVs from different angles. I’m going to try doing it from the top next.” – Adrian L.
