Pastel Murals

Our group made a mural of Abraham Lincoln. We got a picture of Abraham Lincoln then we picked colors for us to use then we pixalized it. Then we had to find an area in the school courtyard that would fit the picture. Once we picked an area we stared labeling what color each brick would be then little by little we colored Lincoln in sections. It only took us two days to color thankfully because there was pastel dust everywhere and the pastels were getting used up pretty fast. Also once we finished coloring the bricks so we didn't use up a lot of pastels we covered most of each brick then we went back over it with a big paintbrush to blend the colors togeher and so they would fill up each brick and flow in the picture better. 

Fish Print

For our fish print project it was pretty gross cause we had to use a frozen fish and paint it then put a piece of paper over it. It was kind of challenging because you had to make sure you didn't put too much paint onto the fish or else the scales and all of the details wouldn't show up because they would all mix and smudge together. On the other hand if you put too little paint then the scales would not show up because there was not enough paint to pick up on the details. Though, it was a very creative idea and project which proved that you can make art out of anything and everything. 

Clay

At the beginning of this project I had an idea and started making my bowl but then I realized that I didn't like how it was turning out. I then decided to start over and pick a different design for my bowl and I like how this one is turning out a lot more than my previous clay bowl.
