Description

fOmg wtf where the heck is the "MURALISM" Category?!! o_O Gaawsh, DA, you and your ever-changing categories suck.

ANYWAY. Reason why i haven't been posting much drawings is because, well... i've been working on THIS bad-boy for weeks. >_>;

Allow me to explain to you the long story behind this mural. THey didn't want any more murals in the school because the number of students were growing and they needed more lockers. There have already been a number of murals covered with lockers in our school (it's deppressing, yes). We were originally not going to have a semester dedicated to Muralism -- but, thank God, there were a few teachers that requested to have murals painted *inside* their classrooms. :0!! Huzzah!!

There were six requests and there were about... 12-14 of us in the class. So, obviously, we had to pair up. I automatically knew who i wanted my partner to be and where i wanted to paint.

I'm always hungry during Art. Obviously, i wanted to paint in the Foods Room.

i'm generally friendly with everyone in the class, but theo nly person i really talked to was my friend, Jesse. Who i nicknamed Jessenator when i met him. :heart:

teacher- "So has anyone thought of where they want to paint and who they're paitning wi--"

me- "JESSENATORFOODSROOM."

Yeah, that's how it went. :B


Anyway, i was excited about this mural making project. The teacher of the class (in this case, Chef G) wanted something cool and culinary... and she suggested some pretty sickening ideas. XD She specifically said, "Something like -- Mary had a little lamb and oh how nice it tasted.." Jessenator and i were like, "o_O". I thought, "Oh, how anti-vegetarian. >_>" So to make it appeal to both vegetarians and carnivors (like myself), we designs... what you see above.

On the right half, there are fish and sea foods just swimming happily and lively in the ocean. On the left half (the bigger half), everything is... cooked. The focal point are the two crabs, dancing in a flamming pot of death. :D :heart: We drew it on paper and sent it to the Board of Ed. to approve of it. They thought it was pretty hilarious. Chef G was pretty ecstatic about it. :B

....Okay, so that's the whole story. I doubt anyone read it. XD :heart: No one likes long descriptions~

Anyway, yeah, holes in the wall were MAD annoying. Jessenator is a very quick painter and works very fast. Which is good. BEcause, me on the other hand... i'm very meticulous when i paint. And i always work on the smaller, fine details. I mean, i does turn out good, but it's not good when there are deadlines to be met. So, thank God Jessenator was there to help speed up the proccess. XD It helped balanced things out. I don't think i would have ever finished the mural myself... o__O Besides... he did the majority of the painting. XD I did the crab, the flames, the shrimp cocktail, the half-cooked fish and the plate, the octopus' tongue... we both worked on the background, and, uhh... he did all the other stuffs. XD

However, i msut admit that my boyfriend should be honorably mentioned. He knows nothing about painting, but he helped fill in those little extra holes that were hard to get the paint into. He was... also a great distraction for us. :]

Thanks, you jerk. I love you. :heart:

All the fishes and seafoods have names, but i'm too lazy to tell you all of them.

i'll post the close-ups later.
