  • Argumentative Writing – Is TikTok Safe for Kids

    Everyone loves TikTok, right? But is it truly safe for kids? I don’t think so. First of all, TikTok has inappropriate content. Some of the shots have swearing and violence that is not kid friendly. These clips can encourage young users to imitate inappropriate behavior. Nobody wants kids to be acting more… shall we say,…

  • Unique Painting

    I’ve got to admit, my titles are less than satisfactory. But never mind that. This painting is… shall we call it… unique because it’s painted on a paper towel. Bounty, to be specific. Whenever I think of Bounty I think of a quote from their ad. “Bounty, the quicker picker-upper.” It looks a bit messy,…

  • Train Pig

    This painting is one that I drew first in pencil, which isn’t true with a lot of my paintings, as they’re abstract. This is more for humor than anything else. In case my handwriting is too bad to be read, the Piglet, whose name is Avocado, is thinking “Where’s Mom? There’s a stink nearby…” and…

  • Dad!

    I painted my dad with watercolors. By the way, before you ask, I’m going to tell you that the little brown spots on his face are not acne. They were supposed to be freckles, but it didn’t turn out so good. Even with a tiny brush, it’s extremely hard to make freckles with a paintbrush.…

  • The Storm of Abstractness

    I painted my very first actually abstract painting. I honestly have absolutely no clue what it is. It looks kind of like a storm, so that’s why I called it The Storm of Abstractness. It would probably sound more professional if I dropped the -ness on the abstractness, but I’ll live if it’s not perfect,…

  • The Emotional Painting

    The reason I call this painting the Emotional Painting is because it has a big, black streak down the middle, symbolizing the hurt, and hatred and darkness that can lie beneath the happy, calm person on the outside. Yet the two shades of pink I used right next to the black streak symbolizes the love…

  • Test Post

    This word account was frustrating to set up. I honestly am liking the way the letters appear on the screen in this nice rhythm…… why do the periods shrink whenever you type them in groups. Dad just trolled me that it’s because it’s an ellipse. I spelled that right first try by the way. I’m…

  • My Handprint Painting

    My painting I’d like to describe and explain about is my handprint painting. I did mostly cool colors for the handprint. I actually painted my hand and pressed it to the page to make the handprint! I had to wash my hands after that, but it’s ok. Making a mess on your hand can be…

  • “I happen to be painting a very large bruise”

    The title for this blog post is a little strange at first glance. The title was from a comic strip, Big Nate. He was hogging the reds and the blues and when Mr. Rosa, the art teacher, came and saw, he said “I happen to be painting a very large bruise”, so that’s where the…

  • The Sea #2: The Reasoning Behind

    The painting I’d like to talk about today is a work called “The Sea #2” by me! The squid in this picture has 11 tentacles because of a birth defect. The squid is sad because it’s injured, and the waters are murky, when they once were crystal clear and there was nothing to worry about…
