Week 3: The Day the Earth Stood Still

We started the painting process in week 4 (which was really week 6-7, but shhh...). Painting took much longer than expected, as we only got about a tenth of the painting finished. Luckily, Isabella tagged along and assisted with painting and mixing paint which helped speed up the process. Mr. Bursch's new tutorial policy had also aided our work ethic because there was less people in the way and more room to work with.

First, we started and finished up the space background which we painted purple (dark byzantium to be more specific) because it was the easiest to finish. Then, we began to paint the Earth (or rather the top half of the Earth). Thanks to the additional help of Izabella Rodriguez and Haley (I don't know her last name), we managed to more than half of the half-Earth (1/2 of 1/2?) in only three days.

While Morgan and I finished up the landmasses and oceans, Isabella began outlining the Tree's roots with dark brown. During class, we also managed to start some of the documents required for the ESLP project (Project Outline, Budget Statements, Activity Logs, etc.). We'll be working on both the mural and the documentation.
