BSA Art Badge: Requirement 4

Yesterday, my mom and dad took me to the Detroit Art Museum (the DIA). We walked around for a very long time and saw LOTS of different art. I liked seeing the Japanese art and the Egyptian mummies. It was cool, because I could see statues of lots of the Egyptian gods that I'm reading about in the Kane Chronicles right now- they had Bes and Bast and Sekmet and Horus statues. I also liked seeing the armor that the Knights wore and the tomahawks that the Native Americans used to use. We got to use an iPad to learn more about the big, BIG mural that is my Dad's favorite part of the DIA. I liked the guys in gas masks. My mom liked the seed baby part. We walked around for a very long time and after we left, I threw up. But before we left, we went to the gift shop and I got things from my favorite parts of the museum: a little red Bast statue, two wooden camels, a wooden alligator and a lucky cat from Japan.

I really liked the art museum, but I did not like throwing up.

BSA Art Badge: Requirement 3

The first badge I wanted to do is the Art badge, because I really like doing art projects. For this one, I had to make pictures of the same thing, but use different types of art stuff to make it. I decided to make art about Pikachu, because he is my favorite Pokemon. The art I used to make Pikachu were:

Colored Pencils

Watercolors

Computer Painting

Acrylic Paint

Here is my art:

This picture is of my painting my Pikachu. But you can also see the drawing I made with colored pencils in it too.

The next thing I did was use acrylic paint, which is darker colored than watercolors are. My mom showed me how to carve a picture of Pikachu a block of soft stuff that was like styrofoam. Then, I painted black paint all over it and used that to make a Pikachu printing.

The last Pikachu art I made was with Microsoft Paint. I thought that this was the easiest type of art to do, but I liked doing the regular painting best.
