Hanging in a lobby at Moss Hill Elementary School stands a picture that showcases the schools mascot and the artistictalents of one of its students.

Fifth-grader Andrew Howard said he started drawing at age 4 and his father, also an artist, helped spark his intresest in art.

When I saw his drawings, the young artist said, I thought they were neat and the way the appear real.

Howard said he was also inspired by paintings from Germany that hang on the walls in his house.

I look at those and sometimes I will try to draw them, he said.

Howard said a love of art has helped him form a strong bond with his father.

We dont always get to do it together, but sometimes I will draw something by myself, show it to him and then he will help me with it, he said.
