Guns Drawn by Students. (pictures)

[.cheese.]

dude.... not cool. I just spit all over the keyboard laughing.

those images are hilarious. All the smiles are the best. "Hey... I'm getting shot! Isn't this a glorious day?"

And to think that they still let you teach about "war" - an outdated concept that has no place in our modern world.
I spent most of high school (and church) drawing battles (with F-16s), but never drew a triangular round.

When I was a kid, we played Dungeons and Dragons - no guns, but swords, axes, etc. a plenty. In class I doodled alot while listening to the teacher. As you can imagine, swords, dragons, etc. all over my scratch paper. I'd probably get kicked out if I was in school now.

These should be made into cards that can be sent to GFW's for special holidays and occasions.

I wonder why the kids choose to draw handguns. Sure, the guns aren't going to be accurate, but even stick figures, it is easy to have a single line running from head to arm and then beyond denoting shoulder weapon. I guess thanks to TV and video games, all guns are now handguns

Akodo, as a professional (*) stick man drawer-er, I must point out that a handgun is much easier to draw. It is a J shaped hook. To do a rifle you need a triangle, a rectangle, a loopy "L" for a trigger, and a clover(muzzle blast). I don't think their art was influenced by video games at all.

* Read "professional" as: skill level never exceeded this point

I see A class art work there. Kids have the best artistic ability before someone ruins them by stifling their creativity and telling them that they should do it differently. Thats how style is born.
You had a great idea having them draw warfare. Keep up the good work.
Remember to instill in them that firearms are just tools.

I remember battleships that I drew were big sea going Ds turned flat side up and covered in turrets that sported anywhere from 3 to 10 guns depending on how many I could fit.

Carriers had a longer flat side and a ower in the middle and vaguely plane shaped objects hovering nearby.

Subs were the easiest, just a line straight up with a little telescope on top.

Good times.

Remember to instill in them that firearms are just tools.

Actually, I did this in an earlier 8th grade class. A lesson on Reconstruction after the Civil War is the PERFECT place to insert the fact that gun control was used by the KKK to suppress blacks, and thus to (hopefully) point out that gun control is racist. If my students learn that gun control is racist, they'll be much more inclined to resist left-wing anti dogma about how cities shouldnt have guns. (Where statistically a majority of non-white families live).

Terrific post. Thanks for sharing. I got more smiles out of this than anything I've seen in a forum in a long time.

Apparently, the French & Indian war was fought primarily with 1911's.

This is just priceless Dorynn...Many thanks for sharing.

And yes, that is quite an advanced musket in that last picture...Please ask your student if that is an autoloading musket, or if it's just a foregrip.
Ahhh,

Colored pencils and paper $10.00
"Last of the Mohicans" $20.00
Muskets being "sprayed from the hip" Priceless.

Here's one I did. I turned it in for a class a year or two ago. I didn't get suspended, reprimanded, or expelled, either, even though its clearly an EBR and the orignal was 4.5 feet wide. In fact, I got an A.
