The Pink Print

October 25th, 2016 I had the pleasure to go to a forum about gun violence, racism, and art. I got to meet Marlos Evans and a few more great artist. I thought the forum was amazing. I am an Urban Studies/ Community Develop major and an art minor. It lined up with everything I am trying to do in life, such as uniting the community to come together, clean up the urban community and use art to do so. It will allow the youth and citizens of the urban community take pride in their cities.

I lines the inside of the box with black paper. Finally, I closed the box off and cut small squares on each side of the box to allow light to come in.

Step 1. I made a plane and other forms using cardboard and tape. I had to measure all shapes to make the measurements were correct and equal. Step 2. I then cut into the form for each one to fit with in each other. I also connected all of the forms to create one form. Step 3. Finally, I used a navy blue to paint the form. I did 2-3 coats of paint to complete the final problem.
