There’s a little thing that exploded.” “Colored pencils of stained glass was my favorite because my family is holy and this is very holy.” “My least favorite was Starry Night because I tried to make these perfect circles but I didn’t do it well & tried to mix colors but it didn’t really work.” “Mondrian was my least favorite because it didn’t really make any sense.” Self-portraits, Kindergarten

I never thought to draw two things touching; I always drew them right next to each other.”

  13. 2nd grade… complementing the awesome art teaching of faculty Mrs. Hoffman “Anything else about your year in art? Not really. I noticed you were the only one to use Chinese characters in your Miro. Why? Oh, my sister and I were looking on the internet and found them. Did you copy them and bring them in? Yes. (Pause). They all mean something… love, joy, and numbers…that one means “8” for my age, and “2005,” the year I was born…”
