Sketchbook/Coloring Book
Create your own sketch inspired by this piece created by an ArtLink student artist!

Title: Giraffe Relaxing Under Tree
Artist: Vida
Age: 12
Country: Botswana
The giraffe is standing next to the tree. I chose this scene because the giraffe is one of my favorite animals.
My family are my mum, dad, and brother. I love horse-riding and acting. I hate reading. I spend my free time going riding, swimming, and bike-riding. I also do art and watch T.V. In my life, I hope to become someone who works with animals.

Artist: Nastya
Age: 12
Country: Russia
On my picture I drew the scene where my cat and my dog are playing.
“I have a mother and father and also a grandmother and grandfather. I am interested in music, I play the piano, and I like to sing. I like English and art. I like playing a computer and traveling. I dislike football and going into the forest. I want to be a lawyer.”
