GumDrop Picture
recreated by our Walter Hays partners
His nose starts 2 inches up from the bottom of his body. His nose is 1 1/2 inches long and slants horizontally. At the end, there is a small, half centimeter circle which is outlined in black and is yellow on the inside. His nose is about as thin as a #2 pencil.
His mouth is 2 1/2 centimeters going sideways. It goes underneath and in the middle of his nose. His mouth is outlined with blue. He has yellow teeth which are 1 millimeter long and 1 millimeter wide. His teeth also are gumdrop shaped. There are six on the top and six on the bottom.
On the bottom of his body, GumDrop has one green ball on each side, and one in the middle. In between each of these green balls there are 5 springs to separate the balls. They are all about 1 centimeter long. They are black.
GumDrop's body is outlined in blue. Inside the body and nose, it is purple.
Analysis
by Daisy and Sarah
We described the colors well. They drew them exactly how they were supposed to be. We think we did well describing the springs and the mouth. His mouth was outlined in blue and his teeth were yellow, just as we said. The springs were black and one centimeter long, just how we drew them. We think we described the body shape well too. They drew his body the shape of the gumdrop.
One of the things we didn't describe well was the balls on the bottom of his body. All we wrote was, "There are three balls on the bottom of his body, one in the middle and two on either side. They are green." We could have said that they were as small as peas. Another thing we didn't describe that great was the eye. We never said it had a black dot in the middle of the red. We also said that his mouth was 2 and 1/2 centimeters when it was really 2 and 1/2 millimeters.
