Passion Project 2021

For the last 7 weeks, Abbagale and I have been doing something called a Passion Project. We decided to work by ourselves or in a group. I worked in a group with Abbagale and we made a spilt canvas mural of a tree with 4 dimensions. We kept on changing the color cause whatever color we decided on we both disliked until our final design. I learned how to make something out of a limited of time. Abbagale and I worked as a team to make our project work and it went so well. There would probably be nothing to change if we did decide to do it next time,.

What we did?

We had planning paper, Abbagale and I sketched out what the design would look like on a canvas but first on the piece of sketch paper with a pencil also stuck some buttons on as either blossoms or fruits just to give it some details and it looks really good.

What changed as we went along?

figuring out some of the colors either dried darker or didn't even dry fast in the time we needed them to. What also changes was when we stuck the buttons on it also we used a hot glue gun and it was super stringy and it also went everywhere and we both had to pick all of the stringy bits off.

What did we learn?

We learned that not all paint works out on our canvas, and oil paint doesn't dry fast it takes a while depending on the amount. How did we both work as a team? We worked together doing the smallest and simplest things first.

What would we do differently next time? Take my time and try not to rush into finishing it, and also be more cautious around the edges.

Here is our Split Canvas Mural of A Tree with 4 dimensions, Abbagale first had to draw it out onto paper of what it would look like as a rough sketch. We also decided together which colors to use as we both didn't really know which ones to use. But we worked together to figure out what colors would go where and also what color the tree was going to be. We both took turns painting each square of the canvas of the right colors chosen.
