my 10 year old house?

we're asked to draw a house as we did when we were 10. apparently the
average student can just crank it out when asked to -- in fact, only 10%
of ms. edwards's students *can't*.

but i don't have a good solid memory of doing it ... and my memory is
*way* better than the average person on most things, but not here ... is
it because i just block out painful art experiences, or is it because it
wasn't important to me, or what?

i know the house would have had 4 windows (even though the 1 i lived in
didn't). and the sun would have been in the sky, not the corner. the
birds are *definitely* right - i liked drawing those because they seemed
really real and stylized.

the tree may not be right. i think instead i drew pine trees as a
series of slashed lines.

the mountains i *think* were pointy instead ... maybe with a horizon
line.

the car might have been a convertible and would be bigger. OH AND I'M
MISSING A SWING SET. that would be on the right.

i didn't like drawing people, so my "basic" wouldn't have had them.

i'm also getting a bit polluted about the concept by reading ahead -- so
it's possible some of the other images and words are brushing off on
me.

it's not important, but it is puzzling.

hmm.
