This picture shows me spray painting my stencil of Lionel Messi. I loved this project because it took a lot creative construction to make the end product. The first step to creating the stencil was to make the frame. We cut a wooden frame from an about 80 inch long piece of wood. Then, we nailed the frame together. The last step to making the frame was to staple-gun a piece of cardboard to the back. After my frame was assembled I painted the whole thing blue. To make the stencil I found a picture of Messi, and projected it onto a posterboard. I traced all the different shadows and cut the shapes out. When all of that was finished I spray painted the figure white and black onto the blue frame. Finally I painted outside of the frame black for my finished stencil.

Brick Pixel Project

 This is my group's brick pixel project. The five of us took four days to fill in the blocks and create this picture. The goal was to create a wolf using blue, yellow, orange, and purple chalk. Unfortunately we ran out of purple chalk and the blue didn't show up as we had hoped, so it turned out a little sloppy. The steps to making this were pretty simple, first we pixelated an animal picture and changed the colors on the computer. After printing off the picture we went to the courtyard. Each brick was divided into three parts, for three different pixels. By looking at the printed picture of our wolf, we used the different colors of chalk to fill in each block and eventually got the shape of the wolf.

This is my value portrait of Hayden. The first step to drawing a value portrait is to get a picture of a person with different shadows. I traced Hayden's picture and all of the different shades on his face. Then I shaded in the parts to create the shadow effect. The goal was not to be afraid of the dark, so the picture would be as realistic as possible, but that didn't work too well for me.
