Home is where the art is.

With my brightly coloured art supplies and a few blank sheets of paper, this is what home looks like for me. On one sheet of paper, when I was smaller, I would take out my brightly colour crayons drawing a square and joining it with a triangle on top for the roof, adding windows and a door. Colouring around it green for the grass, adding trees and flowers. I would colour the sky blue with puffy clouds and adding a sun with a bright smile. The I would draw stick figures outside to represent my family. On another sheet of paper, as I grew a little more. I would draw pictures of me, inside my house. I would draw my family and me baking the biggest chocolate cake with sprinkles flying everywhere. Other sheet of paper I would draw myself at the dinning room table covered with all my drawings and art supplies. The table and my apron, looking chaotic with splashes of colourful paint as I create. I would talk to my family about my paintings when I am finished. Then the next sheet of paper I Would draw my bedroom and all my belongings inside; this is one of my favourite places in my house. Which I love drawing in bold and vibrant colours. This is the room that I can express myself. Last but one sheet of paper I draw my family and me, on the sofa sharing hugs, kisses and laughter’s. The finale and grand sheet of paper I split the into four sections. Each section of the paper represents the four seasons. Winter my brother and me throw snowballs at each other. Spring we blow dandelions, Autumn we rake and jump in leaves and Summer we have a family BBQ. This is home to me.
