Project Process

The first step of this process was to build the shelf. I did not build it entirely on my own however because I needed help with holding and screwing ect. Basically, I took five pieces of wood. Three of one size, and two of another, longer size, and I screwed them together to create a three-level shelf.

The general shape was pretty basic. It was not a complicated shelf at all. I figured that it would do the same job as any other shelf, and it also gave me a lot of painting room. This picture is the final shelf that was put together. You can see how simple it really is.

The next step was the painting part. At first, I planned on organizing an event and invite a lot of people to help me paint, but that was when my idea was to paint a table. I decided to just paint the shelf on my own because it was pretty small. I guess I figured it would get crowded otherwise. I could also take my time and make this from me and for the Head Start that I served my community service time at.

I tried to paint patterns with basic recognizable shapes that the preschoolers would be able to recognize. I also added a little bit of me by putting my hand prints at the top.
