ksenThe artist is creating a large vertical triptych mural for a boutique inn measuring 30 feet wide by 8 feet tall. They have decided to paint the mural on canvas rather than directly on the wall. The artist opens a heavy roll of canvas measuring 15 yards and trims it to size, hanging the canvas evenly with tape. They then use a grid and charcoal to sketch a scaled version of their design. The artist paints each section separately on the floor before rolling them up for installation.

McLoughlin Brothers Circus Procession Miniature Book
This document provides step-by-step instructions for making a miniature 12-inch version of the 12-foot book "The Circus Procession" using various tools and materials. It describes printing the pages on long paper, scoring and folding them, making cardboard covers and attaching them using glue, and binding the pages together into a concertina-style book. Special techniques like using tissue paper to join shorter paper strips and pressing the book to ensure it dries flat are also outlined. The finished miniature book accurately replicates the look and features of the original large-scale work.
Thaumatrope emma salome
This document provides instructions for making a thaumatrope, which is an early optical toy. It lists the materials needed as a sheet of paper, glue, scissors, compass, thin stick, and pen or color pens. The instructions then outline the four steps: cut out two circles from paper and draw a picture split between the two; place a stick through the circles and glue them together with the picture halves aligned; color the drawing for visual appeal; and spin the stick between the hands to see the picture combine into a single image.
Materials and Process of Making Murals
The document discusses materials and techniques for making murals. It lists main materials like egg yolk, tempera paint, oil paints, beeswax, and resin binders. Historical techniques include buon fresco using pigment on wet plaster, secco using pigments with binders on dry plaster, and mezzo-fresco using pigment on nearly-dry plaster. More modern techniques involve digital manufacturing like frescography and using digital prints on vinyl attached to walls like advertisements.
Murals
Murals are large artworks painted directly onto walls or ceilings. Some of the earliest murals date back over 30,000 years to paintings found in caves in France. Ancient cultures like the Egyptians, Minoans, and those in Pompeii also created murals. In modern times, murals became popular again through Mexican muralist movements. Murals bring art to the public and can have social, political, or propaganda purposes. Famous murals can be found worldwide, including in Mexico, New York, Belfast, and Berlin.
Inside look at a making of a mural 3
This document provides an overview of the process for making a mural. It begins with selecting a suitable location with a surface that can be painted on. The designer then chooses a design that the community will enjoy, often using a grid method to translate the design onto the mural site. Acrylic paint is commonly used since it dries quickly without fading or smearing. The painting process involves applying an undercoat layer, followed by layers of colored paints. A final glossy paint layer is applied to give the mural a clean, bright finish and attract attention from the community. The document emphasizes that creating a mural requires significant effort from design to completion.

Mural-power point =)
Murals are proposed as a way to help reduce dropout rates at Foreman High School in Chicago. A mural program would provide an after school activity for students to work together creatively. Murals could promote unity within the diverse student body and help motivate students academically. Fundraising would support the mural supplies and food for students. Local businesses, the alderman, and community would be asked to donate to unite the community through public art. The goal is for murals to help students succeed and feel proud of their school.

Building giant articulated hands carved from wood
So I know we’re all going through a lot right now. This whole distancing thing is really starting to wear on us and that’ll never be truer than during this holiday season. That’s why I invented these. Stay 6’ away from your friends and family while doing all the activities just like you used to. It’s almost like they’re not even there!
The build all starts by planing down a bunch of basswood lumber that was reclaimed from a friend of mine. I chose basswood specifically for this project because of it's light weight and also because the grain is very even and straight, which makes it easier to carve. Each of these boards gets planed down and then sanded with the drum sander to exactly an inch thick.
Lino printing
1. The document describes the process of creating a reduction lino print using multiple colors. It begins with drawing a simple design of a mug and bowl, then tracing it onto a lino plate and cutting out areas to create the first print layer in brown.
2. A placeholder is used to ensure accurate alignment when printing additional layers. The first layer is printed, then more areas are cut from the lino plate to create the second print layer.
3. Both print layers are completed using an Albion press, with the second layer printed directly over the first to create the final multi-colored reduction lino print. Issues with the second layer design and colors are noted.

After examining many, many workbench designs and almost settling on a German-style bench, I came across the 17th century French workbench of Andre Roubo. This design seemed to have surpassing versatility and an aesthetic superiority to every other design. In the construction process I learned of the trade-off between functionality, design, and ease of construction. I have made awkward-looking workbenches in one day which function perfectly. I've also made beautiful tables quickly and easily which are only useful as buffet tables. To make this workbench functional and attractive required that every surface be planed properly, and every corner be a perfect 90 degrees.

Diane Guo created a lamp over several weeks. She cut circles and legs from wood using tools like a bend saw and jig saw. She assembled the lamp by cutting slots for legs and gluing pieces together. Diane covered the lamp frame in flax, which was a long process requiring care. In the end, the lamp was complete and lit up, though it was initially unstable. Diane fixed this by sanding down longer legs to be even.

How to hang wallpaper
The document provides instructions for hanging wallpaper, including necessary tools, planning wallpaper placement, how to get started, common obstacles, and tips for a better finish. Key steps include using a plumb line to ensure straight hanging, cutting pieces of wallpaper to align the pattern before hanging, pasting and hanging one piece at a time, and trimming edges neatly around obstacles like doors and light fixtures. Tips suggest checking paste for vinyl paper, removing air bubbles while wet, and being careful with seam rollers and paste application.
Travel layout step by step
This document provides instructions for creating a travel-themed scrapbook layout. It involves cutting patterned paper and corrugated board, distressing edges with gesso and watercolor paint, and adhering the pieces to a background. Photos, stickers, die-cuts and stamps are then arranged on the corrugated board area. Twine and brads are used to create a banner. Random stamping, layering of cutouts, flowers and journaling complete the layout. A list of supplies is included at the end.
Biomimicry Project - Process Journal
The document summarizes the student's progress on a woodworking project over several journal entries. In the first entry, the student marks out and cuts sides from MDF and begins cutting side blocks. They note being slightly ahead of schedule. The second entry details measuring, marking, and cutting additional side blocks and sides, though searching for suitable wood took extra time. The third entry finds suitable wood and cuts more side blocks with help from their teacher. They cut the sides to approximate shape. The fourth and fifth entries have the student marking shapes on side blocks and cutting them, finding the coping saw too slow so switching to a tenon saw for faster diagonal cuts instead of exact shapes.

Makingamural
- 1. Making a Mural for the new Boutique Inn ‘the Independent’ © www.kimsenior.com 2008 all rights reserved
- 2. this is my digital maquette for a 30 x 8 foot vertical triptych; a mural to be painted on canvas. It has been decided to use mounted canvas, rather than painton location.
- 3. This is the painted sketch. acrylic on canvas, about 12 x 40 inches.
- 4. Heavy roll of 15 yards of canvas; opening the 10ft6in long box. I triple check all my measurements before cutting.
- 5. My ceiling is shorter than that, so I need to trim some inches, so I can stand the roll, to be able to unroll it sideways.
- 6. I cut through the roll with an snapoff knife, going around and round, trying to keep the cut as true as possible. I have to rotate the roll a little to reach all round, and can feel a twinge in my back from bending over it. Its heavy and awkward.
- 7. I cut the thick cardboard core with my Japanese saw. Works great, though I know cutting paper is dulling the blade faster than cutting wood. I leave enough length on the tube, so I will clear the baseboard when I unroll.
- 8. We manage to hang it evenly along a snapped charcoal line, i cut to length,and we repeat 3 times.
- 9. the vertical shadows are pressure marks from the roll laying in the carton, and will come out later. I cut the canvas 14 inches larger than the frame size, to allow sufficient for the stretching. The stretched canvas will not have an external frame, its called a gallery wrap when the paint continues around the sides.
- 10. I snap a horizontal center line, and put dots of tape at the foot marks.
- 11. I look at the sketch/plan on my laptop, and I have superimposed a scaled grid on it, to help me draw my design large, in charcoal.
- 12. For a mahl stick, ( a guide) I have a super light and strong one, made from carbon-fibre golf club shaft, by my dad.
- 13. I have a slender 3 ft piece of bamboo, into the tip of which is a bit of soft vine charcoal. This is a great tool for sketching this large a size; I can really see what I'm doing over a larger area. The charcoal is soft enough, and my pressure light enough, that I can erase mistakes.
- 14. I am painting each section sideways, each will just fit on the wall. I have wiped all but a light layer of the charcoal off anyway, before painting, so the paints don't get contaminated.
- 15. Imitation gold leaf must be sealed with a topcoat,or it will tarnish.
- 16. Rolling the completed middle section onto a cardboard tube.
- 17. Two completed sections. To view them together like this, I have to view photos of them on the computer. I traced several inches of the left side of the first one, to make sure of the correct position to start the second section.
- 18. wet in wet blending for first layer of sky colors
- 19. top section, work in progress
- 20. applying leaf; it is the predominant visual element in the top section.
- 21. Painting and gilding done. Digital preview of how the panels will look when installed. Next step, mounting canvas to custom built stretcher frames. ©www.kimsenior.com 2008 all rights reserved
