It was fun, we really got to learn about places and history and about famous people in Chicago.

Kendra

Making the artwork was fun, I learned how to make collage. Placing the tissue paper on the canvass was kind of tricky. The glue got sticky and the paper wrinkled.

Jabreal

I got to work by myself and no one tried to bother me while I worked on my project.

Malakye

My best part of the project was covering the canvass with tissue paper, and using the Liqitex. I was something I never done before.
