Mason Swader - 3B

I was inspired by a forest. Hopefully people will notice the trees.

Karsten - 4A

This is a puzzle piece with the Sydney Opera House on it. I wanted to draw it because the money from this auction will go to help Australia.

Hannah - 4A

The artwork I made was to give support to Australia. They are in bad shape and buying this artwork can fix that! I drew Australia and the flag with little hearts with A's for Australia in them! I used pencils, sharpies, and a ruler. These help me plan out and perfect my work. It was challenging to draw the shape of Australia, but I tried my best and it turned out how I pictured it! I used a lot of color and shapes too!

Abigail - 4B

I did a koala for my puzzle piece. The inspiration for doing a koala was how many koalas there are in Australia!

Finn Boyle - 4B

What inspired me for this drawing was that I looked at the iPad and all of the pictures of Australia before the forest. The pictures looked really nice so I did a picture of that and made it say 'Make Australia look like this again'. When I was working I did make a mistake but then I fixed it so that my drawing would be even better than it was before.

Isabel Williams - 4B

I chose this because I wanted to show our country helping Australia through everything they've gone through. It shows us shaking hands (helping hands) with Australia.

What inspired me was all of the koalas that were in danger. My favorite part was making the koala.

Claire Lightbourn - 5A

For my project I wanted to use oil pastels. The inspiration for this was using two types of coloring, oil pastels and colored pencils.

The inspiration for my project is that you go through bad times to get to better ones. I used color to show the bad and the good. I had a lot of time making this piece.

Zachary Craanen - 5B

The subject of my artwork is the Sydney Opera House. I hope people will notice the further away you are from it, the more you can notice the shading. In my artwork I used rectangles, triangles, and lines.

Mollie Bryan - 5B

What was challenging was to finish it and make it look nice. I wanted to make it very colorful. I hope people notice that I wanted to make it colorful and fun and meaningful.

Rose Caldera - 5B

My favorite thing about my project is getting really messy with the oil pastels. I got my idea from one of my projects I did at home. The materials I used were oil pastels and cut outs. The shape I used were firefighters and kangaroos and koalas.

Kirsten Szot - 5B

My inspiration was from pictures I've seen of koalas trapped in trees and it made me want to help. I am excited about this auction so I can raise money for Australia and help people and animals.

What inspired my drawing is I love to draw doodle art because it allows me to express my feeling for art. I was inspired by Vexx. I just really love his doodle art.

Addie Renkens - 6A

My piece is about a helicopter dropping carrots. I decided to draw this because I saw a lot of pictures of animals homes destroyed. Also the helicopters would drop the carrots because all of their food was gone.

Camryn Payne - 6A

I chose to draw a bunch of people because a lot of them are losing their homes. I drew animals because they are dying. My favorite part is the food falling from the helicopter.

Allison Lalik - 6A

My picture is of a kangaroo with fire behind it. I did this because so many kangaroos are being killed or injured in the fires. I'm really proud of the shading that I did.

Cole Lindburg - 6A

I chose to do my project on the pilots that fly the SDF planes. SDF planes fly over wildfires and put them out in the sky. I chose the SDF plane because I feel that they don't get enough attention and the credit they deserve.

Maggie Angel - 6B

This drawing is of a koala who is very thirsty. I was inspired by people in Australia who were saving animals and then giving them water.

Theo Singer - 6B

My painting is of two hands reaching to save each other while sparks from the fire are flying around them. My favorite part is the sparks, I think they give it the pop and a colorful boost.

Fin Kudick - 6B

This piece represents the peace to come for Australia. The sunrise is a symbol of hope for the 'Day' to come.

In my research I learned about the huge quantity of Koalas that died during the fires. I wanted to draw a koala because I simply want to save them. Save the koalas!

Lilly Koblenski - 7A

My piece is based on the Australian bushfires that are happening right now. I wanted to encourage people to find way they can help solve this problem instead of just leaving it up to the Australians. If everyone does their part we can accomplish a lot more and hopefully solve this disaster. One thing I hope people will notice about my artwork is that the actual picture is in black and white while the words "You Can Help Too" are in color. Hopefully this inspires people to do what they can to help.

Elizabeth Abel - 7A

I love Australia because it has so many interesting animals, so I decided to draw some of them. Some of them are not as well known, so I wrote their names. I like to use pencils and colored pencils, so that is what I used for this project. I blended some of the colors to create the perfect color for the animals.

Erin Schauer - 7A

My artwork is about helping Australia with water to diminish the fires. The glitter represents if we help Australia it will again be beautiful.

Lauren Bartelme - 7B

Be the Change is about how hard the firefighters are working in Australia. We can all contribute and help the land and the animals in Australia.

Harper Roll - 7B

My piece is about how the firefighters are heroes for risking their lives for others.

Liam Bruni - 7B

Not all heroes need to have powers or have a cape. We have heroes right in front of us even though we might not realize it. My favorite part was probably not the drawing but the idea of integrating them.

Maggie Higgins - 8A

I was inspired to do this because when I was younger I did a project and have always been interested in these reefs. Some of the reefs have been dying, but I wanted to make it positive.

Luke Nelson - 8A

Full Title of Piece- "What Doesn't Kill You Makes You Stronger"

Gillian Koning - 8B

We stand as a country for Australia as the firefighters stand against the fires. By helping the animals they are helping their country.

I wanted to give tribute to the firefighters who risk their lives in order to protect wildlife. My piece shows a firefighter saving a koala from a forest fire.

Ava Bachhuber - 8A

My picture depicts a woman firefighter saving a baby koala from the terrible bushfires. They are moving away from the destroyed land to a fertile place with new life. If we all work together to save all of the animals in Australia, they can have wonderful lives and a brighter future.

Lauren Davidson - 8A

As the wildfires in Australia continue and hopefully die out, we need to send our love and hope to them. This piece represents the unity of people that keep Australia in their prayers and the work that is put into Australia rebuilding.

Mia Eckstein - 8A

I decided to create a piece with various colorful plants with a hand reaching out. The hand has a small flower. I made this because I researched about many interesting plants in Australia, many of which were colorful, and was inspired to draw them.

Tanner Krantz - 8B

My project is about a koala in a tree. My favorite part is the texture used on the paper.

Keira Cynkar - 7A

In the picture it shows animals in their environments. The animals have half of one environment and half of another.
