This week I painted some rocks and painted more of my horse. I think I will finish the horse by next week. It is taking up a lot of room and it requires a bunch of paint because it is so big. My sister and I got bored this week so we decided to paint rocks. I decided I would do it because it would be good for my genius hour project. We went to our creek and found some round small rocks. We only found 3 because most of them were rough. We used waterproof-paint so when we put them in the yard, the paint would not smear. We decided that the rocks we going to say something inspirational on them. I used yellow, hot pink, white, and bright orange paint. We also wanted to paint them to make people feel good about themselves. Rock painting is a really big deal to some people because they make a living off of it. I watched a couple of professional rock painters to understand their technique and to understand why they chose to paint rocks for a living. The video taught me that you need to paint the basic color first and add your details last. My sister´s rock was painted black and mine was painted white and yellow. Then I chose an inspirational quote to put on my rock. I chose to shine on and my sister chose to be happy. The rocks are made to put in hidden places all around town, parks, schools, and basically anywhere else. They are meant to be encouraging and make people feel better. I have done one of these before in art class last year. The one I did last year was pretty bad and I messed up a lot. My sister and I both needed to start over so we did our best to get the first coat of paint off. My sister said she was done and did not paint anymore on her rock because she said she liked her rock without paint. I painted my second one and it turned out awful because I did not have any paint pens. I think I will only post mine because my sister is not finished.
