SIGNS OF INDUSTRY


Poet and Professor Amy Tudor (far right, grey sweater) visits with our class to help jazz up our jingles.

Knowing that our signs will be red and that red is perhaps the most persnickety color,
we gave the boards a good coat of grey primer.

Kevin Parrish and Jenni Harper get to work.    

After the grey primer dried, we gave the boards a solid coat of red paint.

Brigid Watters and Jenni Harper use the tactic of masking off the letters first.

   Johnathan McCutcheon projects words and traces them before their masking.
Cherish Deeg and Jenni Harper trace letters

Cherish Deeg incorporates the tactic of painting each letter one at a time.
