And now, the moment for which you all have been waiting! This post shares the winners of our 2017 Illustration Contest.
Over the past couple of months, The Walking Classroom office was inundated with entries for our annual illustration contest! We had a great time looking through many creative and colorful masterpieces. It was truly challenging selecting this year’s winners!
The guidelines . . .
This year’s contest presented several possibilities for student artists. Their end product could be any one of the following:
- A picture of a student and classmates walking, listening and learning (and, of course, smiling!).
OR - An illustration of a favorite podcast.
OR - A before and after walking picture, showing a student and/or classmates before and then after a Walking Classroom lesson.
By the time we had opened all of those large manila envelopes, we had quite the array of artful illustrations from which to choose. It was not an easy decision!
And the winners are . . .
