little dots in the picture.”

“[Joan] Miro, because he’s cool. He painted all those things using

spheres and lines connecting them to make it flow.”

them and used different shapes.”

“Winslow Homer, because he painted lots of historic pictures, like

of the Wild West and Civil War and things I like to read about. It’s

nice to find an artist with the same interests as me.”
