Winthrop Middle School's Talking Wall

Tuesday, December 26, 2006

"If you were to title the mural today what would it be?" Some more thoughts from the 8th grade. If you respond to this blog please refer to the number of the quote in your response. If you wrote it, let us know!

1) "The Magnificent"
I think it looks good. You could see what everyone painted because it is gray. It looks like someone spilled several buckets of paint over it.


2) The mural is a pain to look at during lunch. I'm not opposed to abstract art, but it is not what I think and see. It looks like an attempt to be colorful, but with many mismatched and ugly colors. I hate coming down here and listen to people talk about art like poetry-puke.

3) "Everyone's Creation"
Painting and showing
what we all can do
Some added lots others just a few
Creating life on a blank wall
with extra colors, all barriers fall.
Making it perfect through our eyes.
This is everyones creation from
all the girls and guys.

4) The painting look different in a good way. You don't see this everyday. The colors look good together and I'm sure it will look even better by the end.

5) "Super Swirling Spaghetti" because this is a cafeteria and spaghetti is a food! (This is what was on the rest page for this title)
"I Paint what I See": I see swirls of color, whirling about the wall. Some are dark, some are light.
"I Paint what I Paint": I painted strokes of color, spiraling across the wall. I moved my brush in a circular motion to create a jumble of dizzy lines.
"I Paint what I Think": I think of all the different colors representing all of the different children of the school. None of these lines are the same, just like none of the children at Winthrop Middle School are the same. Everyone is different and that is good.

6) "The Crazy Wall"
I think this wall is a maze. I think this wall reminds me of Winthrop. This wall is a remembering of the 8th grade. This wall is special. This wall we did is the best.

7) "Confusing"
I think it is pointless and should have kept the other ones.

8) "A Piece of Crap"
I think this is the worst painting I have ever seen. It's just a bunch of squiggles. All I see is a bunch of colors. I want the others back.

9) I see a bomb exploding of paint. When I look at it I am given a confused feeling. I see people being crazy and molesting the wall with colors.

10) "Exploding Colors"
The wall shows everyones creativity and personality, even if it looks messy and ugly. I decided to just draw lines. I just felt like doing that. It is my own way of being unique. In the wall I can see that everyone has a little bit of themselves in it. Talking walls.

11) "War"
I see a war that is happening because the circles make it look like there is a person that is lying there dead. And some of the colors make it look like the sun is rising.

12) "Bold Lines"
I see creativity of bold lines, that are colorful. Designs of imagination. Scribbles that draw your eye.

13) "Cosmo"
I see lots of colors.
I paint random lines, with no pattern.
I think that its a blog of color.

14) "The Abstract Rainbow"
I think it is like one big splash of the rainbow except of being in an arch shape. It is all twisted and goes every which way. I think that this a painting of a thousand words. Showing and leaving a part of everyone that is here.

15) "The Wall"
It's unique and I think its unique because no one could paint something exactly like this. The mural shows everyone what their ideas are so everyone put in what they want to see on the wall.
