012nd-place-painting-prek-2nd-grade
Spacing out in the classroom is usually frowned upon by teachers. But some students can turn real thoughts of space into an art teacher's pride. This year's [Space Foundation Student Art Contest](http://www.spacefoundation.org/education/student-art-contest) attracted 1,500 prekindergarten to high school students from the U.S., Pakistan and Turkey with the theme “Space is Infinite – Explore.” Astronauts will present the 36 winners at the 28th National Space Symposium later this month in Colorado Springs. From stargazing in sleeping bags to shuttle launches and science fiction landscapes, students made drawings, paintings and mixed-media pieces depicting space. Here are some of our favorites from among the winners. __Above:__ 2nd Place (Painting), PreK-2nd Grade ------------------------------------ __Student:__ Aylana __School:__ The Classical Academy -- Central __Location:__ Colorado Springs, CO
