My Artist's Statement

Hi,

I decided to draw my self portrait this way because I want our Alaskan friends to see what I look like and tell them my hobbies and how my family celebrates.

Goodbye,

Makayla's Artist Statement

Hello,

I chose to do my portrait this way because I like swimming. I even like to stand on my head under the water. I do back flips under water, and stay under for three minutes! I like to play tag under water too. Oh, I want to teach you how to do a back flip under water. Okay, first you put your hands up, then put your hands back. Put one foot up then tilt into the water then flip! It's not easy, it took me four months to learn that.

Good luck,
Makayla

Lavar's Artist Statement

Hi,

My name is Lavar and I like to eat the turkey leg on Thanksgiving and I like to go trick-or-treating on Halloween. The reason why I did my background is because it reminds me of my home with my brother, mom, my friend Zack, and other family. I live with my mom and my grandma, uncle, and my baby brother. They make me feel special. I live in Mattapan. I like to play outside with my friends and the school that I go to is the Mather. My teacher is Mr. Killilea. I love art so much because it helps me with my drawing and it improves my work in art.

Goodbye,

Lavar

Zion's Artist Statement

Hi everyone,

My name is Zion.
I decided to do this because I wanted you to know what I look like and what my house looks like.
I have a brother. His name is Trinity. My mom has a car and it is white. Can I ask, what do you do for fun and are you happy that you are going to visit us? I'm in the third grade. If you ever get to go on a subway it is so much fun. Sometimes they show a movie. So, when you come I hope you have fun.

Goodbye,
Zion

Jaharra's Artist Statement

Hello there,

I chose this drawing of me because it is me! I like this background because I like purple. Purple is my favorite color. I picked pink because pink is another one of my favorite colors too. I also have pink covers on my bed and this is why I picked my picture's colors and background.

I like to play with my family. I also have a dog, a cat, two brothers, and I'm the only girl. I have a lot of cousins, aunties, and uncles. I love my family. I'm eight years old. I have a mom and a dad. One of my brothers is seven and the other is thirteen. I love my life and me.

Bye bye,
Jaharra

Bye,
Jaharra
