  2. My favorite painting is in black and white. There is a man looking to his left so you cannot see his face only his profile. There is also a huge lion looking to the right sitting on the floor.

  3. My favorite painting was towards the begging. He was sitting at an easle and painting a bird. It looks like he's looking at the egg as a base for his paiting, but he's actually painting the bird that could be inside the egg. -Emmalyne Smith 7th

  5. I liked how everything was so different. I think it's so cool how in a way everything is very realistic but the subject of the paintings isn't realistic at all. Super cool. My favorite was the caskets as a family portrait is has a very sinister message to it.

  14. My favorite painting of his was the one that had the door that looked like it was going out into the ocean, because it reminded me of the "Tom and Jerry" cartoons. -Chris Adams

  20. I really liked the picture with the big head. There was a big head and the face was very small. I thought it was very unique and detailed.

  21. I really liked the picture that had a lot of different men surrounding a building in the sky. It was very detailed and abstract and was very different from the usual art people see.
