Finally, some art to show again. In honor of President's Day, I dug up these two portraits. These were drawn in 7th grade I believe with a plain ol' #2 school pencil on 9x12 sheets of paper and mounted on a larger black sheet (both similar to construction paper). It was part of a bulletin board display in the main hallway of my school for the month of February. I remember tiring of working on Lincoln's beard and just scribbling to finish. Recall being quite pleased with Washington's nose, though I see it is too small for him and his eyes weren't pleasing to me. Oh well, I thought it would be funny to show them on this day. Hope everyone had an enjoyable day. I'm thankful for great men like these that helped shape our country!
These are great. What fun to have something from your youth.
ReplyDeleteWell I recognized them right off the bat! I think you did a superior job for a 7th grader! Good post for President's Day.
ReplyDeleteHow cool to still have some of your school art. Most of mine got lost years ago. Great job as I too recongnized them.
ReplyDeleteNice!
ReplyDeleteI hardly have anything from my Jr High days. Mainly just emotional scars from puberty.
