Mini Stage

In the Art class i made a mini stage of the myth or ledgend called The Adventures of Ulysses. The part from the book The Adventures of Ulysses was when Ulysses and his mens go climbed the giant's foot and all his mens got eaten but Ulysses survived.For my stage i colored the stage dark brown, so i will go with the part i'm doing. I choose this story because i know it because i read it and i know the details of this story then the other story i know.For the back drop i draw a giant's feet that looks like a tree, for the back ground of the backdrop i also made it dark brown and in the back drop every thing was dark a scary. For the wings i used the black cardboard and cut it out as bkack dead trees. For the grass in front of the stage i used green cardboard and some strings to do them. For the grass i made them by sticking the strings to the cardboard and then paint it green. I also made some decorations by using strings. For the decorations i did it by putting the string in the glue and then paint many colors on the strings, then put it on and around the stage to make it more like a forest.

How to make a mini stage:

1. Get a box about 35 cm
2. Get glue and paper to do paper mache around the box( no need to do the bottom part)
3. After that wait for it to dry and then mkae the backdrop(background)
4.Paint the box the color you want it to be
5.Make the wings( wings is the thing that is at the left and right of the stage)
6. Make something low in front like grass.
Optional 7. Decorate it
For Example if your stage is having a party you can put some ribbons on your stage so it looks more like a party.

In my opinion i like this project it was fun. I think if i need to do something like this again i would try to make the paper i need to stick the box in the first step more neat.

Reflection 1/3/07

Last week i have finish my painting. It was Paul klee's style. It came out good but someparts of the painting was alittle bit messy. Anyway it wasn't that bad. Over all i think that doing this painting was fun. it was quite easy to do it. For this art i think the easy part was designing and organizing the colors, the hard part was when we started to paint because i have to try and make it neat. The good thing about this activity is that we get to practice controling our brush. I don't think there are any bad points.

On this art i had 7 pictures on it and they were flower, rainbow, cloud, paint brush, color plate, and some water drops. I choose the flower because it is like the espresion of happiness. I choose the rainbow because i think it like we have a colorful life, and i choose cloud because it is like peace. I choose the paint brush because i like to paint at home and the color plate because when we paint we need touse it. I choose the water drop because we use it everyday in our life.

For me when i look at other people's i think they did alot better then me, like Nsmfon, Pim, Kik and Aey they did so good .It makes me want to do this work again because i think i did not do a good work enough.I think that the project that we have to do a collage, 20 square and a abtract painting i did alot better. I think i can improve this painting by taking more time on it and controlong my brush better.

How to make this painting?

1.Draw border just a straight line in the size of a ruler and then a Draw 5-9 lines on the paper it can be straight curved lines it can be any knid of line but every line have to end at the edge of the paper.
