Before Winter Break I started working on this project for an art show at the high school. The project was to interpret a poem by e.e. cummings entitled "maggy and milly and molly and may." As I was reading the poem the last line stuck out to me "For whatever we lose (like a you or a me) it's always ourselves we find in the sea." I imagined a face reflected in water so I learned how to fade two pictures into each other. I then put that picture into two cupped hands as if the hands were holding a pool of water. A few days ago, the piece was chosen to be featured in the art show. What was cool was that people used so many different mediums to make their pictures. The students from Chute used photoshop but other students used colored pencils, paints, and even metal. Overall it was pretty fun to create this.
