Here I am in the art room (THANKS JUDY!) with my projector in place and ready to go:)

Take a Look


Here i am working extra hard to get my mural in motion!!!

TA-DA!


today during my free time I started sketching the bear and skunk image onto the panel I purchased! It was very easy! All I had to do was watch the video that is my guide line on how to make a mural.

These six steps I followed

1. Make copies of image. (one on paper one on transparency)
2. Project image (on panel)
3. Adjust size (so lines on image are easy to see
4. Trace (took about 30 min)
5. Set up drop cloth (reduces messes )
6. PAINT!

*Steps 5 and 6 are on hold until i get the paint, which will be very soon!!!!*

Ms. M

Ms. M was very pleased to hear that things are going to be moving fast this week. I start the mural this Thursday and hopefully with all my helpers I can get the image on the panel asap. That is the most important and that’s what I need done right now.  During our meeting we didn’t really talk about much in regards to my presentation. We just said that it would be awesome if I could have the mural done for my presentation so it could be a visual during my evaluation.
