Wall Mural

For my fourth quarter makerspace project, we decided to paint a mural on one of the walls in makerspace. The first thing that we did was brainstorm on a piece of paper what we wanted to paint on the wall. Next, we started drawing our sketch of the design on the blank wall. After we had the design sketched out on the wall, we started looking for paint. None of us were able to go to the store to buy paint at the time that we wanted to paint, so we just used whatever paint in the colors that we could find at school. If we were to do this again, I think that we would probably go to the store and buy the paint so that we could have whatever color choices we wanted, instead of being limited to the colors that were in the school. After we decided on the colors to use, we started painting. It took us several days to all of the painting because it took time to paint the words and the entire background using fairly small paintbrushes. After we were done painting, we decided that it would look better if we were able to make it pop a little bit. To do this, we outlined the drips and the letters with a black paint marker. One issue that we ran into while doing this was that the marker didn’t work very well on top of paint that goes on the wall. Something that may have helped us would be to research what kind of paint pens work best on top of wall paint. I think that it turned out very well, and I think that we are all happy with the result of the project.
