Items of Importance: Make-Up Post for Alliance for Independence

This is my make-up assignment for not being able to make it to the Alliance for Independence. All I can say is that I spent much more time on these than anybody spent on the field trip. I guess that's what I get for not making it there? I chose to paint three pictures, each representing a character in the play The Boys Next Door. I didn't actually paint them, I decided to paint items in their lives that were significant. For Arnold I painted popcorn because he works at the theater, a polished shoe because a man at his work makes him polish his shoes, and a map of Russia because he continually threatens to go to Russia. For Norman I drew a doughnut because he is eating them all of the time, keys because he is obsessed with his keys, and Sheila's phone number because they are "dating" (even though I don't think she actually gave him her phone number in the play). Last, for Lucien I drew books because he was always checking them out, a library card because he was so proud of his, and a spiderman tie hanging out of the book because he wore one to see the "State Sneck". Well, here you go.

  1. Wow these are really good. I really like how you didn’t paint the characters and instead painted something that related to them.

  2. These are really good Kristen. You should try to sell some of your paintings or present them at a local art show
