Sonnet

I like it when my team hits the ball hard 
I like the bat with a good amount of mass.
I like it when the ball goes really far

I like the color of the bright green grass.
I like the roughness of the orange dirt.

I like when my opponents miss an easy catch.
I like the color and the stripes on my shirt.
I like it when its a really good match.
I like it when we win an amazing game. 
I like when I see the ball in the air.
And look at the lineup and see my name.
I like it when I feel the sweat on my hair.

I like the sound with the ball with the bat.
I like baseball and thats a true fact.

Poems

What is a poem

A poem is a piece of art
that you can read
or sing with a beat.
most songs are poems

Some poems rhyme
Some poems repeat
Since it is a piece of art
it can be anything you want it to be

Great painter
Realism
Artistic
Now inspired by many people
Talented

Was inspired by Jan Van Eyck
One of the well known artists
One of many impressionism painters
Determined

What happens when you die.
will people talk about you.
will they judge you for the things you did wrong.
will they mention the good things about you.
or would you be remembered at all.

Grant Wood

  
 Grant Wood was born on February 13, 1891. He was raised in a farm like environment for example he wasn't raised in the city. From 1920 to 1928 he studied painting styles like impressionism after he graduated high school  in 1910.
    Somebody that inspired him was a painter named Jan van Eyck. This person inspired Grant Wood by making a new technique of art. Jan van Eyck was part of the renaissance time period and he drew very realistic due to what the people liked at the time period. So I think that had to do alot about the inspiration of drawing realistic. 
Grant wood made this painting because he was inspired and sort of fascinated by a house known as the American Gothic house. He was inspired by the design of the house's window. One thing that I liked about this painting is that Grant Wood painted the people that he thought would live in that type of house at the time. Since he was not from the city and in the early 1900's this is how he would have imagined the wealthy people at the time.
