Things My Students Draw

When my students aren't saying ridiculous things, they're drawing pictures for their class presentations. I encourage them to draw pictures each class, and I tape these to walls. The kids really enjoy it. Those who are nervous about speaking in front of the class can at least put their efforts into a picture. It's a good way to use their imaginations, their classmates like it, the pictures add nice atmosphere to the classroom, and it gives them a feeling of pride to see their artwork on display. That being said, sometimes they draw...interesting things. I present to you...

Things My Students Draw

This tomato man just wanted a job. Instead, he was repeated shot and blown to hell with a giant grenade.
The tomato man is actually my favorite picture. It has nothing to do with anything discussed in class. This student drew it on the back of his vocab test and gave it to me as a present at the end of class. He is incredibly adorable. He comes to class early, just so he can show me Korean webcomics on my Galaxy tab.

The assignment was to invent a disease.
The most important fact about this disease: It goes to your butt.
When you tell a group of boys that they can invent any disease they want, beware. These boys searched for every disgusting word they could find and used them all to describe this disease, which was created by terrorists to kill people in the year 2476. It is spread through smelly farts.

Psy, doing the invisible horse dance.
This assignment was to present on awesome things from Korean culture. This class was particularly fun because most of the students ended up performing their favorite Korean pop songs. It not only amused me and their classmates, but also amused our neighbors because the rousing "Heeeeeeeey, sexy lady" chorus was loud enough to penetrate walls.

Stay tuned for more updates, as I photograph more priceless student works.
