Michael

Lauren
I liked drawing the banana. It was awesome.

Brennan
We draw different foods. We use some shading and we look carefully at the details. 

Aidan
We grabbed a piece of fruit out of our bag, took it to our desk and we tried to draw it's shape. We tried to shade it. I felt surprised because it was tricky to draw the shape of the fruit. 

Bradley
Our attempts at still life looked really good for starters. I am surprised at how some people did some of the pictures. 

Finn
I draw pictures of different kinds of food. I draw with the pencil. I coloured some of the food. My pictures look good. 

Jordan
I found The still life art hard at first and the fruit on the chopping board was really hard for me but the art look alright now.
