Grid Art Project

          For my project, i decided to use Qixels, which are small rubbery cubes that when sprayed with water stick to one another. Originally, I wanted to use legos, but I could not find any that were plain or non-themed. The only problem I had with Qixels is that the design trays were too small to design all of my art piece in one piece. Instead, I had to superglue different chunks at a time.

          When I first started, the first thing I could think of to make -- maybe it was because of my Halloween spirit -- was a carved pumpkin. After I made the pumpkin I needed to think of some kind of background pattern. I wanted the colors of the background to be black and purple, but there were no purple cubes. So instead, I used red and blue (which = purple). It may look a bit patriotic but I still think its ok.

          Thinking and planning the steps I had to make took a lot of work too. I used graphing paper to draw and redraw the design I used for my grid project. All in all, I really satisfied with the way my project turned out.

Happy Halloween!
