are paintings written or drawn?

[Burzhui]

What is the proper way to say that, are paintings written or drawn

and please don't say painted

[whitak24]

i would say drawn. but that's just my opinion

[BigJon]

actually....they are painted...
drawings are drawn...
writings are written...
sketches are sketched...

that is what I learned in school...maybe I'm wrong...

out of the choice though, I would say drawn...

[Burzhui]

i dunno something tells me that paintings are written

Ok thanks guys

[Jihforce]

And why would you think that?

oooo....DF is using the noggin' today (as he does everyday). good thinkin' there.

yeah, out of the given choices, i would say drawn, but that raelly isn't correct. why do you ask Burzhui?

my professor is a total d!ckwad if you use the wrong word he takes of points if you say blue sky instead of "baby blue sky with birds piercing here and about" he takes points off

I had an "anal" teacher like that back in college... Everybody HATED him... It really pissed him off when I aced his class since in his words "Nobody 'aces' my clase..."

Whata loser!

i hate people like that, everyone says if you want to get a C take this professor

Talk about anal - I was once in a physics class where you got points deducted if the staple in your homework paper wasn't at a 45 degree angle and less than 1/4" from the edge of the paper.

LOL, oh man that is bad... did you lose a lot of points in that class? And what if you used a paper clip?

was there a lot of spelling in this class

i also think that some character writing, such as chinese, may be drawn.


and burz...if you call using "wrote a painting" and you got points taken off...i think that may not be exactly anal. it means you used the wrong freakin word. depending on the class, of course. if it's a physics class or something, ya, that's anal. if it's something writing-oriented or such, or having to do with the arts...sorry buddy. paintings just aren't written.

No, I was pretty careful about it after I heard his ramblings about proper procedure and scientific process on the first day.

The really sad thing is that I still staple all my papers like that to this day.

BTW, I believe paper clips were a hanging offense in that class.

ouch! that is pretty bad

i had a couple science teachers in h.s. who were really anal about presentation about lab reports, but nothing that psychotic.
