When I was in second or third grade, my computer class was assigned this Halloween project. We had to use this children's paint program to paint something that represents the spirit of Halloween. Being the little horror movie fan that I was, I created this decapitated monkey's head, hanging by a noose from a tree, blood dripping from its neck, with its body trailing behind it. To add on to the spooky atmosphere, I added this sweet castle in the distance, on top of a hill.
.. I got in a lot of trouble for that, & the teachers made me erase the whole thing. My final painting was of the word "boo" on a gray background. They stomped all over my creativity, man.. Looking back, I realize how inappropriate it was for a second grade project, but I would've been an awesome horror story artist. I'm just sayin'..
