Mural Project Progress
Stacey, Karl, and I made a little more progress on the Little Tree Preschool mural project. Thank goodness for overcast days.
Mural Project: Foundations
Allison, Josh, AnnaMaria, Karl, and I made more progress on the mural project. Karl brought our ladder so I was able to put him to work on the treeline. It's coming together slowly but surely.
Mural Project: The Painting Begins
Taiki, AnnaMaria, Anna, and I applied the first coat of paint for the grass and treeline of summer and spring. The house paint we're using goes on thin so we'll probably need at least 2-3 coats. It's also a bit runny. Sigh. I have a feeling this is going to take awhile. We wrapped up our work around 8:30 and went to Subway together for dinner afterwards. I love Art Alliance meals at Subway. :)
Mural Project: Day 1, Drawing the Outlines
Art Alliance members along with our club mentor Ms. McElroy met at the Little Tree Preschool to kick off the mural project. We met after dark and used a projector to help us pencil in our lines. It was really fun to project on side of the building. You can tell in our photos that we had a good time. Participants: Morgan, Josh, Ms. McElroy, Taiki, Lindsey, Karl, and I. Not too shabby.
The VAS Gala Approaches
It's almost time for the Visual Arts Society (VAS) Gala which means AnnaMaria and I are busying photographing artwork and working our design magic on invitations, catalogs, and other nifty things. The Visual Arts Society is an organization that raises money for equipment for the Art Department & for Student Scholarships. They raise money by having an art auction every spring, that includes work by artists of all levels. I donated a small watercolor painting of a snail. I'm pretty fond of it, but am glad to donate it for a good cause. I had to write my first official 'About the Artist' [...]
Hot, Cold, Wet, Dry
One of my Graphic Design Workshop assignments involved reworking a few earlier projects. My original Hot, Cold, Wet, Dry project was a collage piece from my very first design class. It was made with bits of magazine and rubber cement which has now yellowed. It was fun to rework this project, and significantly easier than cutting and gluing tons of magazine bits to paper.
