  • In this drawing you can see 5 different planets all somewhat resembeling each other. They all have a light blue aspect to them and every single one of them has stripes going through them. The 2 planets on the bottom are almost the exact same except that the one on the the bottom left has a bit of orange in it. The big planet in the center has stripes and a big circle in the center, it also has purple in it as well as dark blue on the bottom. The planet on the top right is blue, purple, and red and has its own grey moon. The background of this drawing is a mix of blue, purple, and pink. by Xander Danlse

  • In the center of the drawing is what seems to be the moon, it is round and grey with the American flag planted on it. In the middle of the moon are the words "The Nature of Space". On the top left there is also what appears to be a galaxy, it is a swirly figure that is shaded in dark grey / black. On the top right of the drawing is the sun, it is yellow and large. The background of this drawing is a mix of blue, yellow, purple, and black. by Karim Diane

  • There is a line seperating some of the planets, it looks like either the drawing was torn or this is what they meant to do because along the line there are 3 pieces of tape either real or drawn on. There are 2 planets with rings, one is orange and one is blue. There are also 2 grey planets, one is closest to the sun and one is furthest. Then there is Earth which appears to have 2 moons and next to Earth is a large orange planet which I believe is Jupiter. The background of this drawing looks like it was painted with water colors, specifically blue, green, purple, and pink. by Jimena Dominguez

  • In this drawing, the main thing you see right away is a singular astronaut floating through space all alone in a black suit. He is surrounded by lots of different colors such as pink, purple, orange, red, black, and light blue. It looks like he might be approaching a space bridge of some sort. by Marlanna Gonzalez

A green rectangle and light blue line shapes are in the lower left, and a yellow curved shape and grey planet-like forms are in the lower right. The piece is rendered mostly in pencil with touches of blue, green, orange, and yellow coloring. by Cindy Graciano

  • The astronaut is attached to his red spaceship by what appears to be a tether. There are 3 planets around him, one is Earth, one is a red planet so I am thinking Mars, and the last one is saturn with its ring. The background of this drawing is colored black. by Xavier Gutierrez
