Hello! Welcome back to my blog post. Today I will be talking about a school project that I have been working on for 2 months.
On March 15th we started a project called the tree book. This book consisted of a salute to my roots, what we will do when the pandemic ends, a list of things we want to do, and collage and painting.
We worked with a local painter named Peg Gignoux. She helped a lot with the painting part of the book. We did some work with Akua ink which is when you put something (in this case a leaf) on some jello type surface and then put a paper on top of it and push it down. That will put a colorful leer on your paper. Then we cut the paper and put the leaf onto a branch that we used by putting some thicker paper on the base of the tree.
After we did this we snipped some green paper and made it into grass for the bottom of the tree. We wrote paragraphs honoring someone that is very close to us and that we love.
We wrote a list of things that we wanted to do in our life. This for me consisted of things like skydiving, visiting Jerusalem again, getting a job I love, and other things.
Overall, this has been a really incredible experience for me and I have enjoyed it thoroughly. Thank you to Peg Gignoux and Patti Donnelly for this great experience.
Down below this writing I will have two links one of the links will be to the Frank Gallery were my book was shown to my parents and classmates. The other link is to Peg Gignoux’s website. (She helped us with all of the painting and glueing.)
