Final Product

Almost There!

This Thursday (5/14/09) is our last day of site and none of us can believe it!  We are making preparations to finish the final details and hang our mural on the wall permanently.  We are all very excited about the Mural Dedication Party, which will happen this Sunday, May 17th at 12pm.  Columbus local musicians, The Bush League All Stars will be playing and there will be food and drinks for everyone.  The party is open to the public so come celebrate with us!

SITE

The site that we are putting our mural is on Summit and 16th.   This is a church and it has more advantages than our original site because we have places to store are supply's and wash are brushes so we don't have to take stuff on the with us when we go back to school. It is also on campus so we have places to go out to lunch. There is a learning center which gives us a place to chill and relax and there is also a pool table and TV's. We also have the advantage to work inside when its cold or raining. 

We would like to give a shout out to the people that have helped make this possible: Chris, Catherine, Clarence and anyone else that help us.

Foundation Layer

The Foundation layer is the basic layer of color after the base coat. We put it on the boards that we are putting the mural on. We also put a foundation layer on the flowers that we are putting onto the mural. We all had our fair share of painted the pieces of the mural. We had to paint many layers so that the green base coat wouldn't show through, like there had to be many layers of yellow put on. After we finished doing all of the foundation layer work we had to start painting details.
