#Day 9: Final Day

#Final Day 

The final day we finished off the mural and haven't got the chance to upload final images of the mural. This has been are successful experience for me and the team which created are good environment and opportunity for us to create our artwork in a public space. This has shown me new things and created oppurtunitys where design can be applied onto anything with process and are creative team behind you.

This experience for me was a good chance to learn new skills and give what i know that will help benefit me and my team. Through this process i have learned many things from the simple things of time management, and positivity that helps towards completing the job. 

I Would love to do this as a living job in the community and all around the world.  

Day 8: Skin Tone & Red

#Day 8 

Today we applied the Brown and red onto the portraits as followed from the concept. the processes we used was that we started it with black and going from the colours to fix up and clean up the lines. The last layer was the red which was applied to finish off the portraits. This was really fun to do with the team that created motivation and made it possible.

Working with the grid really helped the process when it came down to doing the portraits. From this day we only had to finish the white part on the left side and a few touch ups on the portraits. The yellow part on the right side. 

Day 5: Portrait Outline

#Day 5

Today we worked on the outline for the portraits using the projector outlines and having the black spray can as a guide line for our Red and Brown for the Skin Tone colour. We all worked in sections to speed the process and making the most of the time that we had to do the portraits.

We also ordered the paint the next day so Day 6 will be our resting day to get the next load ready for Day 7.

Day 4: Background

#Day 4 

Update of our mural we have covered most of the background and have put grey paint over the portraits to mark them and put in the projector to line up the design to the wall. We also did Projector work in the night time to help with the design. 

Day 3: Grid

#Day 3

Gary emailed me about having a grid for the mural and how it really helps in making it very accurate with the design. So he created it over the day to get it ready for the next day which is Day 4

Day 3: Outline Mural

#Day 3

Today with the help of Gary Silipa me and the boys worked on the background and adjustments to the sizes to fit the concept. This gave us a chance to work on the sections and finish the outline on our first day.

Videos of the stencil that i did for the red sections. Jason and Leo applied the stencils onto the mural.

Day 1: Discussion Mural

#Day 1 

There was a discussion about the estimate and the paint that was paid from Elmarie and Clinton. From there Gary helped the team understand about the pricing and order of paint that is needed for the mural. Day 3 would be the day that we officially start our mural. 

Day 1: Mural Outline

#Day 1

This was our first day of outlining the mural with the team and it was a good process for us to get to know what will challenge us and what we will overcome in our mural.  

We did start on the mural and the outlines but we choose to start in the next two days and use the next day to order the paint to start the mural.

Final Meeting with Elmarie & Clinton:

List Of Material 

For the last meeting before we started the mural we presented the list of material that we need to get before start day. During the week we decided to change the spray paint as it didn't suit the wall and the purpose was different to what we were trying to do.

The new list of paint is listed below and it was used to go over the old paint we did in the beginning of the week. 

Paint Estimates for Mural 

Update Estimates of Paint 

Week 5 Mural Plan

We had a meeting about finalizing with Elmarie about the mural design and getting a check list of material and paint we need to complete the mural.

   

Final Design 

Design Adjustments #1

We decided to change the concept design of the mural and worked with the colours and images in the design. Images shown below were used in the process of changing the design. The image of the bottom is are update of our design. 

Elmarie and the team were really happy with the concept and background colours used in the image we then added the yellow to the background of Parris Goebel.  

Week One Meeting

We had our first meeting with Elmarie and spoke about the design and what she liked about the it and what to work on. She was happy with the people that we were putting on its just the position and volume of the background, taking the frames out and leaving them how it is. 

We decided to change the design again to balance the whole concept of the mural. 

Design Drafts

This is design drafts for our mural which was designed from leo. I really like that he had the Chinese concept in the mural that showed different cultures in our concept with the portraits of people in New Zealand
