Draw or paint your room or a room that is special to you. You cannot include everything. What is important to include? Why?

Write about your painting/drawing. How is this room unique? What are the predominant colors of your room? How do you feel when you are in this room? Do you share this space with someone? How? Does this room have a window? What do you see from there? What do you like to do in this room?
