Fixing the Stencils!



We all set off into our assigned groups like everyday. The students working on the griding with the teachers we were using, put the finishing touches on their portraits. They then go ready to put the portrait on the actual board! This was exciting because they have been working on theportraits for so long.

While they were finishing up the portraits, the group that was doing the gradations started to put it on the board. To start this, they drew a circle where the persons head would be and went around that with a very light gray.

The stencil group ran into a problem. During the past classes when the stencils were being put on the board, the paper that the stencil was on started to come off on the board and ruin some of the designs. To fix this, we decided that the stencils should not be on regular paper but something that would hold up with all the wet paint. Ms. K. had some thick, plasticy paper that we used instead. We also painted over the mess ups on the boards so we can use the new ones to fix it.
Lastly, the group that was doing the ribbon for the background of the board that connects all the portraits together, finished it up and it looks great! We got a lot done today and hopefully tomorrow we will be able to put the actual portraits on the board.
