Project Description: We were asked to paint one of the four structural pillars in the 9th grade commons. This pillar symbolized our other "pillar", the intangible one that we used to guide us in the Time Travelers project. These "pillars" were art and architecture, religion and society, government, and science and technology. The actual pillars were assigned a "pillar" to hold the paintings of each team member.
Process: First we though of what to paint on our pillar. Then, keeping this idea in mind, we sketched our painting on a piece of paper. The sketch should incorporate our research paper ideas into it as well as a creative background. Next we got our paints, found a spot on our designated pillar, and started painting.
Reflection:
What did you learn? I learned how to work next to people in a cramped space because we were all working on one pillar, so things got kind of tight. I also learned that painting can be incorporated in humanities work as well.
What challenges did you encounter? It was often difficult to fit in the tight spaces with my peers. I had to assert myself and show them that I needed space too. Coming up with a way to show the diverse arts in the Inca civilization was difficult too.
What would you do the same or different? Next time I would try to get my color palette more advanced and bright, because my colors were sometimes muted. Next time I will sketch in pencil my design on the pillar before I start, like I did this time, because its a great guideline for the painting.
How will this help you later? With my colors, if I am able to create more vibrant colors, then that will make my pillar more appealing and I will be more proud. By sketching my concept for my pillar before I start painting my work will be neater and my pillar will look overall more polished.
