To make my paintbrush from all thing of nature I gathered fallen yellow
leaves, grass,and a twig I found. In order to make a kind of sticky
substance for which I could stick together my grass, and leaves on my
stick to make my brush, I mixed
red mud with oil, and a little bit of water. Which is the same thing I
used as paint, in my cave painting. To make the paintbrush, I folded all
the leaves in half, and put some of the wet clay on the back of each
leaf and stuck it to the twig. Then I put more
wet clay over the front of the leaves, and stuck blades of grass on top
of it. Then I waited for it to dry, and everything stuck on correctly.
For my cave painting I decided to make it about where I work. I
lifeguard at a country club so I tried to make it
like the pool I work at every day. The rough rectangle is the shape of
the pool, the lines across the middle vertically with the circles in the
middle are lane lines. The v shaped marks in the pool are swimmers. I
have to stick figures standing outside the
pool, and those are the lifeguards. There are also blobs and dots, all
around the pool, and inside it. Those are meant to be pieces of hail,
and rain drops for when we had a storm yesterday. And last but not
least, there's a hand print outside the pool, and
that is suppose to be the blood print from my own hand, when I cut it
on the lifeguard stand last week, and it got on the deck!
