Naiya Rockwood

Painting 5

What I like about painting number 5 is that I see a hand. I see the words New York. This painting inspires me because to me this painting says peace, love, hope, joy and dignity. In this painting I also see a man with no arms but a hand for a leg. I like the colors in this picture because I see the colors of the American Flag. I see a bridge, a flower and alien spaceship.

James Lasser

Paintings 1, 2, 3, 4, 5

1) I see a King that is red and a girl. I see John F. Kennedy. I see a toilet

2) I chose number 2 because it tells a little about the United States. It has red, white, blue, and it has Captain America. It has Mitt Romney and the word great. It has a black american flag.

3) I see a toy.

4) I see a huge face.

5) I see NY and a schoolbus.

Anaiya Baptista

Painting 3

Picasso

I like Picasso's art because it shows who I am. I have hope, I don't just care about myself. I see a finger in the picture. I think it means that it does not matter what color you are, you are you. I also see a face. To me it represents I am who I am. Picasso inspired me because I am from Africa.

2) I like painting number two because of the flag and stars. I see a hat and people. I see many colors and the number five. There is the word Great. Painting 2 is inspiring to me because it felt like I could do anything.

5) I like painting number 5 because I see many people riding horses.I see colors that look like flags. I see Buju Banton.

Yudelkis Cueva

Painting 3 and 5

3) I like painting #3 because it inspires me. It inspires me because Picasso painted what he felt like painting. What also inspires me is that on top of Picasso's painting it says Black and White. It inspires me because it reminds me about the time of slavery. Also, I love the colors Picasso painted. Also, when it says Black and White, it feels we are all a big family. This is truly painting that is inspiring.

5) I like painting #5 because it is really creative. It is talking about a famous artist called Buju Banton. This painting inspires me because it has different colors and almost looks like comic books. In one picture it looks like a shell. Also in another picture it's just mixed up colors. That truly inspires me.

Paintings 2, 3 and 5

2) I choose painting #2 because it inspires me to paint abstract art. I also choose this painting because this painting speaks to me. I choose this painting because of it's true colors. In this painting I see the American Flag and I see the word Great. Great is a bold word to me. The colors are the American Flag colors. That's why I choose this painting.

3) I also like number 3 because it inspires me. I like the words because their bold such as Listen and African Birth and Peace. I also like the colors and the abstract. I see a worm with a hat, a shoe, and a couple of eyes and a robot. This painting speaks to me, that's why I choose this painting.

5) I like this painting because it also speaks to me. I also like this painting because of Buju Banton. Buju Banton is a Jamaican Man. I also like the painting because of the abstract work and comics. I see an Egyptian Man. That's why I choose this painting.
