Big Idea

• We came up with the idea of depression, because
  all of us wanted to do something with human
  emotions. We also think depression is a world
  wide epidemic that should be taken under careful
  consideration. The artist that we got our ideas
  from was Pat Ward Williams since she used human
  emotion in her paintings.

Process

• First we decided we wanted to do something
  associated with human emotions.
• We then came to the conclusion that depression
  was the big issue that we wanted to display.

Process Continued

• Next we started planning out how we wanted to
  show depression. We came up with the idea of
  displaying a building that was happy, and a man
  stood outside the wall, looking in on it.
• When we decided to use a large canvas, we painted
  it white because we were recycling an already
  used canvas.
• Then we sketched out the wall, man, building and
  the windows of the building (the windows show
  happy activities).
• We then painted the sky blue, black, and purple
  in swirls.
• Next we painted the building tan and added pumice
  gel to add texture to it.
• Then we each planned out a window that we then
  painted with different scenes.
• Last we put on the finishing touches. We put on
  the wooden chopstick frames, painted the doorway
  and the grass.
