Halloween Window Painting


Participated in Otis' Halloween Window Painting contest. I wasn't actually part of the original team but I wanted to volunteer, so I helped out Moni and Nicole (two of my classmates) with their design.

I think we did remarkably well despite the given factors:

1. It started to rain when the base colors were being applied. It was also really cold; not exactly the best of conditions.
2. We were right next to the airport. it's a miracle our ears didn't start bleeding from the engines flying directly above our heads.
3. Occasional gusts of wind from both the weather and airplanes blew our materials that weren't heavy enough across the sidewalk, most of which were empty water bottles and paint-mixing plates.
4. Our materials were not especially of desired quality (paint was either too thick or too watery, brushes were tough to work with, etc.) and one of my teammates lost the paintbrush she brought from home to specifically work on it.

Our painting is close to the airport, so if you're driving from LAX you'll be able to see it.
