Three Strawberry Milkshakes

Image Discussion Julian thinks that this picture shows what a milkshake looks like. And he thinks that it’s very original because it is a strawberry

milkshake and in old movies they usually have strawberry milkshakes.

Camille thinks the picture expresses the simplicity of the shakes, because the painter painted it very simple. She also thinks the

painter painted the milkshakes in a whimsical way!

Alex D. thinks that the three milkshakes look delicious and also thought that they symbolized something of the painters childhood.

Maddie thinks that this picture is about the painter going to buy milkshakes for him and his two other friends. I think the three

flavors are chocolate, vanilla, and strawberry. I think this because I think all of his friends are different from each other.
