Not a Robot...Mario

My kids only really want to draw superheroes and Mario characters. I cannot motivate the artists to move past these subjects. Sorry robot theme.

The first was drawn by a first grade male. He has drawn King Koopa (clearly at the far right) who is holding the Princess in his magical swirling vice grip. Mario (at top) has come to save her. At first, I thought it was Luigi that was captured and thus did not narrate the correct characters to my male friend, Zak. The drawing below is his rendition of the above drawing. He wants me to color it but I can't stand to ruin good stuff until I've had a few glasses of wine.

Student drawing of a Spineosaurus [sic]

This drawing was done by a first grade male. He knew exactly what he was drawing and knows pretty much everything about dinosaurs. He is a true artist. Also, he wears suits to school every day.

Not St. Patty's themed...Superhero themed

Different student this time...first grade male. I will paraphrase as I do not remember many exact quotes.

The blue is water, duh. The being closest to the bottom is Spiderman with his web being thrown to the top of the scene. The Green Goblin is on top of his board with orange bombs on it attacking Spiderman (He drew the Green Goblin brown so I had to remind him of what color he really should be. You're welcome, folks). I am unsure of who is being attacked at the top of the scene but it does not look good for them. In a later drawing by the same student and another male kindergarten student, I (yes, the speech therapist) was being held captive in jail by the Green Goblin and Spiderman, Batman, and Robin were all trying to save me. Unfortunately, they did not save me but they all escaped before the bomb went off and I died, tragically, at the hands of the "bad guy".

I now fear that the Green Goblin is after me and that even with superheroes, I cannot be saved. Any reassuring words would be helpful.

Patricia the Monster

So I can't draw worth a lick (and licks are expensive these days), but I work in an elementary school and my kids draw some awesome things. I can't tell you the kids' names (the law man would kill me if I did), but I will try to put a blurb in about what they say in regards to it if I remember.

For this one...my male 3rd grader said that he "put the pink on her lips because she is a girl and she wears lipstick." He also named her Patricia but didn't know how to spell it, thus my chicken scratch writing is on this piece of art spelling her name correctly. She is a "square monster."
