Makerspace Wall Art

For my fourth quarter makerspace project Kate, Alex, Lizzie, and I decided to paint the wall next to the entrance of the Tri State Area. We painted the wall light blue, with pink drips, and the word “MAKERSPACE” in yellow paint. The blue paint is wall paint and the pink and yellow paint are acrylic. This project took a couple of weeks for us to finish. The first step was drawing the drips and letters out in pencil. Then we painted the background, then the drips, and letters. We went over each color a couple of times and did touch ups on places we missed while painting. Lastly we took a black paint marker and outlined the drips and letters. Something that went well during this project was the actual painting of everything, once we had colors and design sorted out the actual painting was very easy and relaxing to work on. A challenge that we ran into was that everyday we would have to remix the pink and yellow paints to get the right shade from the previous day but, overall this was easy to resolve. I really enjoyed doing this project and I would really enjoy doing another painting in the future.
