Wonders of Water Art Contest

One Friday at school,I was having art class and my art teacher said that my grade was going to have an art contest and the theme was "Wonders of Water." You could use anything that has to do with art including glitter glue, beads, colored paper, etc. You know me, I wanted to do the art contest. I started with a picture of the ocean. When I got home I told my mom and a couple days later we went to the craft store and got some art supplies. My mom got the idea to do a double meaning picture. She said I could do a picture of a girl wondering about water and the wonderful things water can do for us. I decided that was a pretty good idea. I started sketching the first part and my little brother, Ben drew on it! (The same thing happened when my mom was planning my little brother, Derek's Spongebob Squarepants birthday party. My mom was drawing squidward and Ben drew all over it!) I was so sad and mad. I had to START ALL OVER AGAIN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I started over and sketched the beginning (AGAIN.) Then colored it in w/ marker and crayon. Then I put on beads and glitter. I was done! I worked SOOO hard on it and was glad I was done. It took a couple of days but was worth it. A couple days later, my teacher came up to me and told me that I had WON out of the whole school!!!!!!!!!!!!! I was SOOO glad. I got a paper that told me that I get a savings bond of $150, get a trophy, get to go to a banquet, and get a calander with my picture on it! I was amazed about how much stuff I get. The banquet is on April 30,2011. I can't wait! I liked telling you about the contest, but now I have to go. Bye!
