A Georgia Girl in Germany

Zachary received his copy of the SHOWCASE anthology this week. More than 4,000 student entries (original art and literature) were submitted from all of DoDDS-Europe (Department of Defense Dependent Schools in Europe), from pre-school to 12th grade.

Zachary was the only student from Patch Elementary School who had his artwork selected. This particular assignment was to draw a sport. He didn’t want to draw a traditional sport, so he opted instead to illustrate a skydiver using colored pencils and watercolors. I think it’s a great perspective, with lots of wonderful detail, especially for someone who’s never been skydiving! If you look closely, you can see the pockets, belt loops and shoelaces, as well as the "Height Meter" in the bottom right corner indicating an altitude of 40,000 feet! Whew, that's a high-altitude jump!
