THOR Posted October 21, 2010 Share Posted October 21, 2010 Hello guys. I convinced the principal and physics teacher to let me and a friend paint this mural in our high school physics room way back in 1992. They have built a new high school and will be tearing the old one down. A pic for your enjoyment... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

buffalostyle Posted October 21, 2010 Share Posted October 21, 2010 Wow! That is so cool! The fact that your school's administrators allowed you and your friend to paint this is pretty awesome on their part, too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

THOR Posted October 21, 2010 Author Share Posted October 21, 2010 it helped i was an "A" student and we had a cool physics teacher. he wanted me to paint "f = ma" (force equals mass times acceleration) somewhere but I conveniently forgot. we first painted the wall white several times to cover up the original yellow. the trick was to print out line art from my robotech rpg book onto clear overhead slides. i used an overhead projector to enlarge and put the planes on the wall. i traced the lines from the projector with a large magic marker and then painted them. the rest was fill in the spaces. we painted around the planes with gloss black and mixed in blue/red to make which really gave depth the to the wall. can't tell in the photo though. i think i'm going to do something like this in my office at home. -THOR Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr March Posted October 21, 2010 Share Posted October 21, 2010 That is simply beautiful. I'm sorry to hear it's going, but thankful your art could be enjoyed by others for so many years. Well done! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chillyche Posted October 27, 2010 Share Posted October 27, 2010 End of an era, I guess. Awesome mural. You should collect a piece of rubble. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Starscream Posted October 27, 2010 Share Posted October 27, 2010 Screw that... collect the whole wall! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Renato Posted October 28, 2010 Share Posted October 28, 2010 Incredible. Also, kudos to your ingenious method of using an OHP. Somebody should show Kawamori this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chillyche Posted October 28, 2010 Share Posted October 28, 2010 Graf artists actually use projectors like this a lot, when translating a smaller piece to a larger size. I don't know if y'all knew that it was an established technique, or just innovated it locally. There's a precedent, though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
