Fall of 2009 This years winner is Rio O. He is in the second grade at Arthur W. Edwards. His artwork is of the “Life Cycle of the Butterfly.

Rio wrote a paragraph about his work. First to make this picture, I folded a beige piece of construction paper and drew what half of the butterfly would look like. Next, I painted one side of the butterfly and folded and rubbed it. Then, I got a piece of white paper and drew leaves with oil crayons. After that, I did the crayon resist. Then I added eyes and antennae. Last I glued the butterfly on the leafy paper. It was kind of like magic. I started this picture because the whole class was learning about the life cycle of the butterfly. I learned that the butterfly is fragile, beautiful, and sucks nectar. I felt great when I finished this picture.

Fall of 2010 This years winner is Hunter S. He is in the second grade at Arthur W. Edwards. His artwork is the "Life Cycle of a Fish". Hunter did a rubbing of a real mahi mahi to create his masterpiece. He cut out his mahi mahi and added a shipwreck background. He really showed distance by overlapping his fish over the shipwreck. 

Fall of 2011 This years winner is Cordelli I. She is in third grade at Arthur W. Edwards. Her artwork shows the layers of soil, parts of a plant and flower, and insects that might live in that habitat.
