Another 'errandy' day. I did a lot of work stuff today.
First, I got up early to pick up a palette of poster board that was donated by a local dog food company. I only got one palette because I'm not sure where I will store more than that. It is currently sitting in the back of my car, I'm hoping to unload it at school next week. Then, I pulled into the new 7Brews place and got a coffee and an Italian Soda. I also picked up breakfast at Sonic before heading to Carl Junction. I got to school around 9:45 and unloaded the kiln. Then, I reloaded it with a new batch of clay to be fired first thing on Monday. I spent a little time prepping supplies for my art 1 class on Monday and I also cleaned off a shelf to make room for the poster board. I have SO much stuff at school, and I need to get rid of some of it!! Then, I spend the rest of the 3.5 hours painting the mural. We have started a huge mural near the gym. Hundreds of students see it every day. We actually started it last year but because of the pandemic, we did not get to finish it....we currently have 16 figures and are still planning to add 4 more.......Each figure represents a school activity. The first 100 hours were spent projecting, painting the black outline, painting the base color of the uniform, and then adding shading and value. Since we are almost done with that step on all 16 figures, we are ready to paint the hair and skin. Today, I spent time putting down a base layer for skin, hair and eyebrows on each figure that had not been painted yet. We still have a long way to go, because after the base layer, some will need a 2nd coat, then shading and value, and then some of the outlines will need to be repainted, and then final touch ups will need to be done. After painting, I hopped in my car---it was pouring rain---and headed to walmart for a few basic items, and Aldi for more disposable masks. I picked up a few groceries and unloaded them from my car. I have been finishing up an 8 module Canvas training program for my Crowder class since I got home around 3:00. Now, I need to put away laundry, put away dishes, figure out what to make for dinner and find some time to relax.
