This is my pastel oil painting of Annie. The first step to making this was to get a picture of some one. I took a picture of Annie, then used the grid technique to enlarge her picture. Next, I drew her facial features which was much easier after we learned some techniques to drawing them. I picked red for her face, the most difficult part of coloring in the face had to be the shading. Next was her hair, which was easy because I could use yellow and green to and high lights and low lights with the blue. Her eyes and mouth were hard because the pastels weren't easy to draw details with, but I'm really surprised at how good this looks.

This is my group working on the mud painting project. First we got a famous picture and used the computer to put it into black and white coloring. We enlarged the picture on the projector and traced the different shades onto large paper. The hardest part was punching tiny holes along all of the lines, but after we finished that we took it outside and rubbed chalk over the top. This left the outline of the picture on the sidewalk. Finally we used the four different shades of mud to paint our picture.

This is my cassette tape soccer ball. By using the tape from an old cassette tape I was able to cut and glue the pieces into the shape of a soccer ball. I really enjoyed this project because we could be as creative as we wanted. It was difficult at first, since our drawings were contour lines, which means we couldn't pick up our pencils while drawing. That method didn't work out too well for me, but eventually I got this. If I could do this again I would try for a more detailed picture.
