Week 2: Pen(cil) and Sword

[If you don't understand the title, Google Richelieu; Or the Conspiracy (It's an awesome play.)]

This week was when we truly started making art. We took a little more than a week (2-3 weeks actually) to finish the sketch on the plywood board; it was mainly because the sketch was a crucial part to our mural, and we wanted to do it perfectly. A sketch is used for multiple purposes; however, to painters and sculptors, a sketch is a blueprint that tells them what is where and what it will look like. Morgan brainstormed some ideas, and I went out off in search of a tree to duplicate.

I started sketching possible tree
candidates for our mural.

While I was sketching, Raven was out searching
for real trees to base ours off of.

Eventually we had our sketch and, with the help of Izabelle, we transferred it onto our board.
