Debbie's Thoughts on Femi and Kuamaran's Pictures

           

Hey!  I would like to begin this blog by saying that all of the students in Ms. Walton’s class did an absolutely phenomenal job with the creativity in their drawings, and they look amazing.  Each of them, in their own way, tells a unique and intriguing story.

           This is the first drawing that I would like to discuss, the artist was Femi.  If I could title this picture, I would call it “Collision”.  In this picture, I see a volcano that is partially submerged that is erupting.  Simultaneously there is a very large amoeba that is green and blue, and is coming from space and colliding with this volcano.  Did you think that the green and blue ‘something’ on your picture resembles an amoeba, if not, what do you think it resembles?This amoeba started out like any other; microscopic.  But it was genetically modified in a lab and was then shot into space to see if it could survive, by three very optimistic and progressive scientists living in Schlarple, Germany.  As unlikely as it seems, the amoeba did indeed survive, but while staying in space, it grew to unimaginable proportions.
But one day the atmosphere shifted for a reason unknown to any human. And this massive amoeba was forced out of space and sent on a direct path to earth.  As it was nearing the surface a large, partially submerged volcano began to erupt.  What do you think triggered this eruption? Is the blue that is covering the base of the volcano actually water? Acid? Sky? The amoeba collided with the volcano and it resulted in the formation of a green aura that surrounded the incident (this is shown in the picture).  This aura grew quite rapidly until it consumed all things living and non-living, big and small.  And the earth as we know it, ceased to exist.

This is the second drawing that I would like to discuss, the artist was Kumaran.  If I could title this picture, I would call it “Collision”.  In this picture I see a fiery-coloured dragon that was just released from some sort of a cage.  What would you say the creature in the middle of the page is?Flame is a bona fide dragon, she has many of the characteristics described in so many stories, except one, one rather major one, but only one nonetheless.  She did not breathe fire, she never did and never would, and that was that.  Previously, she existed only in children’s story books and old wives’ tales.  But now that she was brought in to reality, our reality.  It is quite justifiable to think that she would totally destroy our society; burn down buildings, snatch people at will, and generally, just make many people’s lives much more difficult.  To avoid the seemingly inevitable, Flame was sedated immediately after being found in the shallow stream that he had wandered into for water.  She was then transported to a laboratory in Japan where she stayed for a total of one month. Within that month, flame grew quite rapidly, almost doubled her size.  This led the scientists to believe that she was fairly young, and although she had grown much, she might have a lot more to grow.  Since they were unaware of how big she could grow to be, she had a very large, enclosed space that she was able to call home.  While being held, without causing any harm to Flame at all they conducted many tests to better understand her species, they observed how she acted when she was alone, when her territory was threatened, and when a weaker animal had entered her cage.  They put a selection of possible foods for her in her cage; vegetables, berries, fish, meat etc.  It seems that from all of their tests they realized that her favourite food was fish, cod especially. What do you think is some of the important information that the scientists should have gathered, how should they have gathered it without harming any animals?After all of their testing they had deemed that Flame, although very intimidating was a harmless creature.  They let her out of confinement.  Although his may seem to be a terrible idea because it could be potentially putting civilians lives in danger, the scientists had been convinced.  Flame could now leave the laboratory and be transported back to the land where the stream she was found in, but farther in, at least 500 miles from any human civilization. All in all, I loved looking at both or your drawings and they are both great.  Keep up the great work, Femi & Kumaran!~Debbie
