-Kressias
I’d say it looks like painted broken glass formed into a girls face, the girl’s eyes are closed and they have shadows on them which makes her look sort of sad.
-Brenna
A face that looks like it’s blowing up.
-Jaimy
A face that has been blowing up with colors and random triangles in his/hers face.

A girl’s face that has many colors, her hair looks like it’s in a bun and her eyes are closed.
-Maximo
It’s a girl trapped in a colorful mirror and and it is breaking.

The arts are a powerful way of communication, We express ourselves through art, it develops both independence and collaboration, without art we wouldn’t be a society.
