Spray Paint Portraits

This is our work in progress :)
This project was really cool, and fun.  First, Mr. Sands took a picture of us, and we used photoshop to make the picture into only a few colors.  We projected this new photo on the wall and traced one of the colors onto a piece of cardstock, and conntinued this with all the colors.  Then, we cut out all the shapes and used the outline of the shapes to make the above photo. After doing this, we made a frame for the portraits.  We sawed wood and used nails to keep them together.  Then, we staple gunned cardboard to the back.  Taking one of the pieces of cardstock, We stuck it in the frame and spray painted the color that went with that paper.  We continued this and it became the picture that we created in photoshop.  I think this was a really cool project and it was awesome how it al came together in the end, even though it was a really long process.  My project was mostly well done, exept at the end some of it did not line up.  But I think it all looks good.
 
We just happened to find these yellow and blue flowers while waiting for our paint to dry...
