"What would you create to tell a story of your life's most important priority? Talk about the medium you'd choose, and why you'd choose it. What would you depict?" What would my life look like? In a painting? In a photo?
Maybe even sidewalk chalk? Chaos, probably :) But in the greatest way possible! I'd want the color of this "masterpiece" to be in pastels. Bright and sunny colors! Nothing sad, nothing black or dark. I'd want it to be in watercolor, too. The fun splotchy-ness to the way it dries and the pretty, layered, effortlessness it has makes me want it to be my medium. I love the simplicity of watercolor. But what would the painting be of? That's where the question gets tough. I just really want the main focus of the painting to be one thing - Happiness. I wouldn't be very picky what the subject was, as long as anyone from any culture could see it and smile. The kind of happy that's obvious and noticeable, the kind that's the light in the darkness - that is what I'd wish for. But if I did have to zoom in and get specific with the details of the picture, I know for a fact that there'd be smiles and laughter with good friends and family. I'd want love to be apparent in the picture as much as happiness. My friends are some of the first people to come to mind when I think about it (and some of you are in this class reading this!). I absolutely love my friends. Once I have that love for you, it'll always be there. And if you think it's not, look harder! Haha :) I think I'd want my painting to be a mural, so I could fit everyone I love into it. Friends, family, animals - you name it. My dog and horses would definitely be in there (and yeah, the silly cats too). My mom, dad, and sister would all be in there, along with my grandma, aunts, uncles, and cousins. My bestest friends would 100% all be in there (because as much as I love my family, I'd lose my mind without my friends)! It'd be like a dream come true for me, because I'd have all my favorite people surrounding me. What would this all depict? Love. Happiness is love; Happiness is the greatest form of love. And that's what I'd want my painting - my life - to be.

I adore the idea of a mural so you can fit everything into it. Even still, the idea of things being squished to make room for all the BIG feelings of love is splendid!
