PART 4
"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!

46) "Colors of the World"
I see different colors all swirled together. The colors are bright and vibrant.
I painted swirly lines of pretty colors everywhere on the wall.

47) "The Crazy Fish"
I think that it is confusing and is full of color. I think that there is a lot of work into the painting. It is very special and there is no other one like it in the world.

48) "A World of Colorful Lines"
I see the lines swirling.
I painted the colorful lines while doing a dance.
I thought about being free and taking paint and just splattering the walls.

The Mural is like a world of colorful lines splattered onto one wall of the school. You see a variety of exquisite colors and random lines.

49) "Outrageously Fun"
I think that it needs more to it. I'm not a big fan of it. It looks like a month old baby did it.

50) "Whirlpool Bling!"
It is very beautiful thing. I was thinking about nothing, I was relaxed. It is a bunch of colors, it kinda makes it look like a whirlpool.

51) I think that the mural looks a like a whole bunch of lines. I also think that it looks like a paint bomb, with a whole bunch of paint exploded onto the wall. I see a rainbow that was mixed up.

52) "The Bombshell"
It expresses what truly goes on in the mind of a middle schooler. Some parts are dull and boring.

53) "Us"

54) "The Blinding Wall"
I think it makes me dizzy.
I think it makes me tired.

55) "The Crazy Wall"
I see very messy, colorful, and abstract designs when I paint.
I paint sloppy when I paint.
I think special, and happiness when I think.

56) "Colors"
I think of a mess of colors that have no certain shape, or take no certain skill of drawing or painting to create.

57) "The Wall"
The mural that we did is ours, we are people who are creative, unique, and many more things. Since we are all different, and our self that what we put into the wall. We showed how unique we are. We thought we were going to do a certain thing when we walked down here, but instead we did what our creative mind told us. Not what our brain told us.

PART 3
"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!

31)"Life"
It is bright and colorful, full of smiles and laughter.
It is twisted and tangled, confused and lost at times.
It is crazy and unique, original, fun, and wild.
So many people have helped to create and influence it.
The mural is life like.

32) "A Big Messy Creation"
1. i think this painting has many different good things about it, like all the different colorful lines and scribbles.
2. I think that it the gives the cafeteria "Life" to its walls by showing each grades big personality.
3. The painting was a cool way to have fun by not having to make actual objects.
4. Everyone likes to have fun with paint and this is a good way to show everyones personality in one big mural.

33) "The Wall"
It is very colorful.
It looks like a wall.
It is unique.

34)"Exploding Colors"
It expresses peoples thoughts.

35) "The Unknown"
I thought of designs and odd things, so I painted them.

36) "Cosmo"
See: Swirly whirls
Paint: Random color, with bold lines without a pattern.
Think: Abstract, colorful, random.

37) "Road Runner"
I see swiriling whirls.
I did the red zigzags in the bottom corner.
I see the white circles in the middle strip.
Bright colors rule.

38) "Scribbles"

39) "Butterfly's Wings"
This is because all the crazy colors, circles, lines, zigzags and dizzy creations remind me of butterflys. There beautiful wings that made them soar through the air.

40) "The Wonder Wall"
I see creativity in the lines drawn.

41) "Middle School Magic"
It tells who the people are that created it, middleschoolers. It also describes the way we were able to have fun and just let there emotions take off, magic. So as the emotions take you away you can just paint out yourself. Middle School Magic.

42) "Confusing Mess"
I think this mural is very confusing. There are so many different designs. I think this mural is very unique there are very many different personalities put into this wall. There are tons of different colors bringing out how people feel.

43) "Wavy Wonderland"
I think the mural is very colorful and it draws you to it when you come down the stairs! Also it makes the cafeteria look very vibrant. The only downside of it is that it makes the cafeteria look a little smaller.

44) "Chitty-Chitty Splat-Splat"
Harmony
Emotion
Different
Comotion
The different colors are like different emotions. All scribbled together mixed up and made one creation.

45) "Many Colors"
Confused to the point. Makes me dizzy.
