Final Results

The class is finally done with our life size cutout projects and they look great.We turned them in on Friday, April 25 to be graded by Mr.Vickers. Even though it took a great deal of time to complete them it was worth it. All we had started with was a picture that we had taken of ourselves then we took that picture and printed it out with the plotter so it was life size. Then we had the task off gluing the picture to a foam board. Sounds easier than it actually is because you have to be very careful to not get bumps or air pockets between the picture and the board. After we let them dry we started cutting them out with exact-o knives and cutting boards.This step took a long time to do because we had to be very precise with our cuts. After that we needed to paint the edges of the foam bored to match the pictures so they'd look more realistic. We just used normal paint and paintbrushes but this to also was time consuming because we had to mix colors to get the right match for out pictures. Finally we let them dry and we were finished. Now all that was left to do was take pictures of the results which you can see we did above.
