Isabella - your style is very similar to van Gogh, whose art was notable for its rough beauty, emotional honesty and bold color. Your math skills are very similar to Pascal, whose triangle math was genius (you will have no trouble with Algebra 1 next year). AND your music style is similar to Aunt Lisa, whose music is on the upbeat side. God bless you. Poppy

I liked painting it but I hated making it on the milk jug.it was wet and sticky when on the milk jug.
I was inspired by me.
I would not change any thing and that's final. It is too perfect.
I learned that paper Mache is hard.
I was surprised that I made up the mask with almost no ideas.
I pasted old news papers in the arrangement of a head leaving a space for eyes and mouth. Then it dried and was later painted. It is one of my favorite art works.written by Jason5821
My favorite part is that it was made of sugar. I don't have a least favorite part.
The inspiration was Dia de Los Muertos.
I would change that one plain skull because it is blank.
It was really just for fun since it was basically making candy.
No it did not. nothing had surprised me except one blank skull.
I used a skull shaped press and some sugar. Then once it was baked and dried, it was decorated by me.

My favorite part was working with the paper mache. I would like to have more time to paint it better. I would like to change the face by being neater on this mask so it will look better.written by Jahdiel6
