Our latest project in art was a self portrait using oil paint. It was a lot of fun. First everyone found a image that we wanted to include in our paintings. A drew a celtic trinity because it has a lot of different and interesting meanings. Then Mr. Varney projected the image on our faces and took a picture. I used a paint brush in my picture to make it look like I was painting the symbol on my face. After we had our pictures we had to make our canvas's. We put the wood together to make a frame then stretched the canvas over top. It was pretty cool that we got to make our own canvas's but it was also hard to staple the canvas on right because we had to pull it vary tight. The part that took the most time was the painting of course, but it was really fun and my portrait came out a lot better than I was expecting.
