Letter Project part 4

A- Using red carpet as background, place three movie cases into A position using A templete as a guide. One case should be thinner than the other this will be used for the left side of A (->A). Place it so that spine side is showing. Place a thicker case on the right side (A<-), with spine showing. Place another case above the two for top of A using the top of case. for the middle bridge of A. Us an i-pod case, side spine showing. Turn off room light, and turn on small desk lamp pointed in direction of movie case A. Take picture.

letter project part 3

E- Use black mat board as background. Place 2 vertical rows each containing 5 toothpicks. Arrange so one row is above the other. Put 3 horizontal toothpicks on top of one row and 3 horizontal toothpicks below the other. In the middle place 3 toothpicks broken in half. take photo in normal room lighting

A- clean off yellow colored counter top to use as a background. Place 2 kick kak bars unwrapped on counter to use as left part of A (->A). one on top of other in vertical position. Place two on above the left part of A in horizontal position one on top of other. Place 4 for the right side of A in pairs of two in vertical format on pair on top of other. Break on piece in half and use the two pieces for the middle section of A (-> - A). Take picture in normal room lighting. EAT DELICIOUS KIT-KATs when completed. :)

Letter Project Part 2

Project 3(I): Using the red carpet as a background, create an I using Q-Tips. Place 8 Q-tips in a rectangle outlined shape as pattern dictates. 1 Q-tip for top and bottom, 3 for each side. Inside place a line of 6 Q-tips vertically with small spacing between each while making sure they align with the side Q-tips. Three lines of the 6 vertical Q-tips should be present when finished. take a picture using normal room lighting.
Project 4:(E): Using a yellow tiled floor, take shaving cream (preferably pink tinted) and create 3 long vertical lines close enough together they seem to form one thick vertical line. Create three more lines of similar thickness. There should be two long lines on top and one shorter in the middle. Use E pattern as a guide. Take picture in normal room lighting.
Project 5(S): Use red carpet as background. Using S pattern, create an S using a solid black scarf. Make sure the thickness of the S's curves resemble that of S pattern. Watch the spacing of inside curves of S as well. When it resembles S pattern closely, take a picture in normal lighting.
Project 6:(B): Use a yellow pillow with dark green stripes made of lines as a background. Fold a piece of Kleenex and in half and then in half again creating a thick line. Next, take another piece of Kleenex folded in half and place the B pattern on top where only the curves of the B cover Kleenex. Trace curves of the B(inside and out)(B<-) and cut. Then take another piece of Kleenex fold it in half and cut vertical stripes using the width of the folded kleenex as the length of the strip. Assemble pieces to match that of B pattern using the long folded Kleenex as the back of B (->B) and small strips as bridges between the back of B and the curves of the B. Make sure the inside shapes of B matches closely with the inside shapes of the pattern B.
Project 7(R): Red Carpet as background. Using 11 toilet paper rolls create an R using R pattern as a guide. There should be four rolls as the back of R (->R), three for the top of the R, Two for curve of the R, two for the leg brace of R(R<-) and one for the middle bridge. To make edges appear more linear and straight flatten one side of all the toilet paper rolls but the two used for the curve. Take picture in normal room lighting.
Project 8(G): Use yellow wooden counter top as a background. Assort 18 rocks of white, grey and a few black, in a G formation using pattern as a guide. Place light colored rocks on outer curve of G(->G), grey rocks on top and bottom part of curves and black rocks as the final edge of G(G<-) Place one black stone in center of outer curve of G(->G). Take picture in normal room lighting.
Project 9(M): use a red wash cloth as background. Put water into a paper cup and create a spout by pinching cup. Pour water into an M pattern onto cloth, using hands as bridge to create straight lines on wet part of cloth. Use fingers to rub wet part of cloth to clean up edges and even thickness of lines as best as possible. Take a picture in normal room lighting.
Project 10(N): Using a Plate with a yellow rim, tap ground coffee beans onto plate using N pattern as a guide. Use finger or utensil to straighten and clarify lines. Tap a small amount in a circle around the N close to the rim of plate. Take picture in normal room lighting.

Letter Project

Step 1: Using Illustrator, choose font type Franklin Gothic No.2 Roman. Click the capital letter A and while holding down shift key, enlarge letter to fill page as much as possible. Repeat with the capital letters of IELSBRGMN. These will become patterns and used as guides when creating the letters out of various material.
Project 1(A): Place a lamp about four ft high. Taking the letter A pattern created, tape a light covered pencil onto the bridging section of the A or bottom line of the triangular center shape of A. Turn off lights. Place A 11/2 ft to 2ft high from ground in front of light to create a solid shadow of A. Take picture of shadow. Avoid showing the A pattern in the picture. 
Project 2(L): On a yellow shaded wooden counter place two regular sized forks with black handles vertically with pointed end at top. Place one fork up and the other upside down. Place two salad forks in the same position only horizontally. Be sure the handles of both the regular and salad sized forks touch. Use the L pattern created previously as a resource if needed. Take picture in normal room lighting.
