Today we painted in English class threes struck by a lightning. This was new in English class; we do this kind of things in art and not in English. However, it was really fun and new. My drawing was really easy but I worked hard to make it. I also saw others paintings to see what they were making.

At the beginning of the class I wasn't sure what I was going to make, but when I grabbed the brush a lot of ideas came running to my head. My drawing had a picture of a three been struck by a lightning, and being on fire. Also, I drew other plants in the background like grass and bushes. Some of them were getting fire by the three. At the same time I drew I was thinking of the difficult it would be for Melinda to know what to draw. My drawing was just as the project was meant to be. Some of my friends were having trouble in thinking what to draw. Mateo drawing started simple, but he later added some cool things to it. I liked of his drawing how the wood was being burned by the fire. Alex also drew a nice drawing; my favorite part was the color of the three trunks being burned. It had a lot of colors, green, red, orange, and I think more.

I simply created a three being struck by a lightning and on fire. I also added some other plants surrounding it getting on fire by the three. I created this simply because it was the first idea that came to my mind. In addition to this, I wanted to forze myself to created something new. I could compare the three with human characteristics in that the three was in pain when being burned by the fire that came from the lightning.

When I finished my painting I said to myself that it wasn't that bad, I actually liked it. When we all finished I looked around on some other paintings. Finally, we took our paintings outside so they could dry and we cleaned the room. In conclusion this was a productive class for the beginning of the second quarter.
