Text Tree

I decided that for my text project, that was themed "culture", I would make a family tree. At first I was going to make a tree on paper and write words on it, but then I got the idea to paint family words on an actual tree. So I found a tree with pretty smooth bark(Willow Oak), and used acrylic paint, and put a base coat of white, then I added family words, like mother, father, son , cousin, etc. I wrapped the words going around the tree at a slant, so the words continuosly went up the tree. The risk I took with this project was painting an actual tree, rather than a peice of paper, becasue I didn't know if the paint would stay on, or if the rain would mess up the project. There could be several meanings to this project. Some people just see letters on a tree, some people see the family words, and some people only look at it from one direction and see three lettered words, like her, fat, and sin. I overall really liked this project because I got to work outside with it and use a whole bottle of paint.

photo shop

This is my Zhino. This was a fun project, we photoshoped a zebra and put him on a Rhino, and this is what he looks like.

pastel still life

This was a fun, but messy project. I used chalk pastel, which goes everywhere when smeered. Anyways, we had some still life in front of usand we had to draw part of it or all of it. So this is what I drew, and it was actually pretty hard but in the end, it was fun.

clay

We had some clay, and some bowls, so we flattened the clay and put it on a bowl, then we cut it out and made disigns on it. It was kinda fun, but not my favorite activity.

box art

This project was kinda fun. We had to find a picture, and then project it onto some boxes. We had to trace the pictures and words onto the boxes and paper and then paint them the right colors. One box had to be in front of the other so when you look at the picture at the right angle then you will see the picture. If you look at it from the wrong angle than it will just look like random boxes with paint on them.

By the way the picture we had was a coke bottle that was rainbow colors, and the words said "Taste the rainbow" on it.

Spraypaint Stencil

This is me pulling off the stencil. There is no picture of the final picture, so this is what you get to see. My picture was a horse, and since I did not have white spraypaint, I used different colors. This project took a long time because we had to cut the wood, nail the frame together, staple a piece of card board to the back and paint it the color we wanted. In all it was very fun.

chalk drawing

This was fun at first, but then it got confusing and annoying. We had to find a picture of an animal and make the picture into little pixels of colors. Then we had to draw the picture on a brick wall to match the picture we had. One of our groups members got off by one or two bricks, so we had to change out picture a little bit.
