ACTIVITY LOG 1

Painting was a one day project, starting with covering up the existing murals. The group decided to go with a space theme because it is science related, and colorful without needing too many different shapes for the designs. The front would have WGHS painted in stars and a rocket ship
up top, while the side would have the sun and all the planets, and the back would be stars.
We had 2 gallons of paint- one a dark blue for the base and one white for the trim and stars.
With the rollers we were able to do two/three layers of blue paint and one layer for the trim
(because it was already white). This took the group about the first hour and a half because
of all the time it took to paint in between the wood panels in the cracks and around the trim
being careful not to get blue paint all over the white trim.
While Natalia, Kelsey and Mallory were finishing up on the last side of the shed with
the base paints and trim, Ella got started on the back. We decided to have the back
be simple because it wasn’t as visible, yet still go with the theme of space. Ella used different
sized brushes to make big and small stars scattered all over the back of the shed. When this
was all done, two hours had gone by and there was still some paint that needed to go around
the trim (more about that in next activity log).
(The pictures for before and after as well as us painting will all be found in the photo
gallery post, complete with captions and behind the scenes of the finished product.)
