From Crayons to Digital Art: TKHS Students Re-Create Kindergarten Drawings

“That’s so cool!” “Oooh look at mine!” “Guys guess what! One of my monsters lives on Earth and lives on Planet Mars!” Squeals of excitement mixed with giggles filled Mrs. DeLeeuw’s kindergarten classroom as her students opened special letters and designs from high school digital media students. The designs were pictures kindergarten students drew then high schoolers recreated the images into digital art with vibrant colors and a bold new landscape.
