Side Walk Chalk Flags.


This project was very fun because I was able to talk to people from other classes and get to know them a lot better. During the project we learned that certain colors have certain meanings such as red meaning emotion and purple meaning wealth. Everyone in each group had a color that they chose to represent themselves along with a symbol. For my color I chose white because its my favorite color and means peace and innocence, my symbol was a ying yang symbol to show that I have a very split personality and how it balances out, But it was very difficult, surprisingly, to find a symbol that matched me. Other colors have different meanings as well for example a member of mine was represented by orange which means joy and creativity, and another was red meaning love and passion.

Creating the Flag.



Everyone in the group was having difficulties so we got to know each other to better suggest symbols to one another. Once we had a clear Idea of what color we wanted to be represented by and our symbol we started sketching the idea out on to a large piece of paper and we divided it by 5 sections. each person would have a section. We then had the idea that we would  fade our symbols and colors together to make it look nicer. The brainstorming and creation of our flag took 2 days which was unexpected so we made our flag on Wednesday this proved to be, some what of a blessing and a curse.
Wednesday was expected to be rained out but we went out anyway hoping for the best of luck. We got rained on here and there but it was nice because we were able to better fade our flags and have a fun time while doing so.

The Final Product.

The Final product turned out great despite the rain and it just made it look cooler in the end. This was a lot of fun and a good way to get to know the people around me.
