Read the entire paragraph. Then use the information in the paragraph to help you draw and color the image.

Our assignment in art was to draw our family. My picture had five people in it. My mom and dad are standing in back. My dad is taller than my mom. They both have brown hair and brown eyes. My mom's hair is very long, and my dad's is very short! I am in the front between my two brothers. Because we are three boys, my mom calls us the three musketeers! My brothers and I all have brown hair and brown eyes like our parents. For the picture, I colored us all dressed alike, since we dress alike when we really do go to have our picture taken! In the picture, we are all wearing black shirts and blue jeans. My mom is wearing a blue headband, but other than that we look very much alike!

Draw a picture of the speaker's family portrait as described.
