Art Contest: Surviving in Nature

Brrrr! Whether you’re a black-capped chickadee, a stranded sailor, an intrepid mountain climber, a seal hunter in the Arctic (or a seal!), it can be hard to survive in nature. As George was shooing the bugs back outside into the snow, he had an idea that made him shiver with excitement. For this month’s contest he would love to see your drawing of someone or something surviving in nature.

Will you draw an explorer on a quest to some remote part of the world? Or focus on an animal that has adapted to a harsh climate? Will your natural environment be cold or hot, wet or dry? Perhaps you’ll imagine living like another Robinson Crusoe, trying to be comfortabe while marooned on an island.

Whatever you choose, George and Tail will be lounging around the pool, sipping tea and nibbling on snowcones while they enjoy your best artistic scene of surviving in nature.
