I’m with you on this one Kambuckta. I went past it the other day and it very obviously stood out from all of the others. Patently wasn’t done by 7 year olds - in fact it looked more like it was done by somebody from Connex or from Brack’s office. ---

Well I was at Flinders St the other day, noticed the artwork but didnt bother to look at it. What I did see however was a teacher leading a class from one of the schools involved up to see their own art. They came off the platform, looked at the stuff for a few minutes and went back on the platform. What a worthwhile trip that would have been. ---

Um, could the picture possibly been mislabeled? Seems kind of odd that a second grade picture be put next to a fifth grade picture. Maybe it got in the wrong stack? PhiloVance, ask Zach if I can keep that picture of SpongeBob? I adore the little guy, and Zach did a great job! I also wanted to add that my kindergartener draws at a second grade level so who knows what she will be like when actually in second grade. Three out of five of my children are artistic at a young age, and I didn’t find my love for painting until high school. I encourage them constantly, and my moms girlfriend even made my second oldest an eisel that can be adjusted for her as she gets older. Oh, and I too can never keep paper in my printers. I have even bought them their own notebooks with and without lines and they just seem to adore the printer paper! Why is this? I have to find out what is so special about this paper. ---

**Kricket** : Sure you can keep it. I think the reason for the use of the computer paper is that it’s grown-up paper; they feel more important if they can use it. Zack’s little sister, Sadie, who is 5 always asks me, Zack just grabs. :rolleyes: Anyway, I don’t mind. 🙂 ---

> [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by Homebrew \* > \*\*Thanks to the photos, I’d guess the poster from the OP is drawn by one person. Whether that one person is a kid in the class, we can’t tell. But it is possible. \*\* I’m leaning toward this conclusion. BTW: perspective isn’t really that hard to pull off if one knows how to use reference points. ---

A first grade, then a sixth grade, then round the corner and a third grade and another first…and so on and so forth.
