Dana’s Blog:
I like making this picture because it’s really fun, using the string it make lots of designs. The picture is called designs. I gave the picture to the people who were teaching to put it on display for the performance night. I feel happy that people will see my work. I want the people to see my art and be happy.

I think art is important because it makes people happy and I like making art.

My favorite art is the big scribble page we made as a group that day because all we had to do was scribble It made me happy because everyone was having fun. I liked that everyone was making art. Making the art together as group made everyone happy. They were smiling.

At the class we had cupcakes for my dad because it was his birthday. Mine was chocolate. I think me, my dad, and my brother Erik had fun because we made art together and made new friends.
