The best part about all of these art projects are the little things you learn. The take home point from this project is that if you need to get the same mixed paint color two different times, good luck!

This project focused on patterns. To make the project individualized we did patterns with our name. I chose to use BDV ( Beau Douglas Voegeli). We were advised on how to properly use patterns to make our final piece. I chose to mix black with red because they are my favorite colors. Part of the rubric was to mix a color with black to develop a shade for some of the square in our pattern.




By looking at this picture it can maybe be assumed that this is how I intended it to be. However, the truth is 2 of the top and bottom row squares were completed the next day. That is where I struggled to find the adequate mixture.

An adequate extension activity for this is more math. Math patterns are essential for furthering understanding and education. After something like this I would assign students to make a Sudoku math problem. This would make a fun activity for them, yet it would be very challenging.
