Job Shadowing

Job Shadowing

K12 Gallery

This was one of the most exciting job shadowing yet, in my experience and with my deep sense of creativity. I was especially honored they let us come, and so many of us because they aren't open on Fridays normally. Here is how the day went.

First, I arrived outside the K12 Gallery. Then I sat down and our mentor discussed what K12 was, we got to ask some questions, took a tour, discussed some of the programs, events, and art pieces. (below)

Finally, we started on the main event, making mosaic lanterns. Each person started out with a sketch and just went with it. Me being a slow artist only got to one of the three sides of my lantern. 

I started out with this idea a picture I had drawn a long time ago of a heart, a heart with intense muscle lines on it. Then I was really just in a Japanese sort of mood so I played around with adding in layer of fabric like how a kimono is, and it just evolved into this thumbnail. After about three to four hours of work, I got this.
