Chalk Murals

In this project, we had to work in groups to create chalk murals. Without my group I wouldn't have been able to create this final product. We each had certain parts and aspects of our caterpillar that we worked on, and this collaboration made the work go faster and the caterpillar look better. Everyone in the group contributed to the ideas from the start. Everyone had their own idea about what they wanted to do for the project, so we had to agree on one chalk mural to draw. Working as a team also brought some difficulties because we would argue about what we wanted to atribute into the work. We would dispute about who would do what and how they should do it. Working with your friends also distracts you some because you feel like it is not just a time to create art, but a time to socialize as well. I thought that our final product looked great. We ended up making the caterpillar and the backround as 3-D and lifelike as possible. We used many color blends and schemes to make it look like a real life caterpillar. In my opinion, our final caterpillar was one of the coolest ideas and one of the best final products. Interacting with artwork can show the whole school how cool art really is. It can demonstrate that it can be more than just drawing, and that if you work at it you can create amazing art.
