Two Contests Coming up

Students in 5th-8th grade are invited to participate in the Martin Luther King Jr. portrait (face) drawing contest. It is due on Friday before the end of the school day. I will be giving out prizes for most realistic, most creative, and most expressive for each grade. You can include words, his name, anything you want, but his face must take up most of the page. If you want to participate stop by the art room for paper. Below are examples of the students who have started their Martin Luther King Jr. portrait. Remember, MLK Day is on Monday, so we do not have school!
