What did I do?When I got into the workshop, I continued to paint over the light support and base. At first, I took a piece of cardboard and chose some acrylic paints that fit to the color of my light support. The color that I chose was brown but it was not the color that I wanted. So, I tried to mix brown with some white. However, this rather made the color look really bad. So, I just chose to color the light support by using the color of brown without mixing any colors with it. Since the brushes were not in good condition, it was very difficult to paint the light support with careful attention. However, I could be able to paint the light support in short amount of time. Because I had some time left, I began to start mixing colors with green, yellow and white to paint the base of my project. By mixing those colors, I was able to make a color that I wanted. However, due to the fact that I made small amount of the color, I couldn't paint all the surfaces of the base. Besides, it was almost end of the class so I had to start packing up. Thus, the only part that I should paint is the base and I am planning to finish painting in the next lesson.

Changes in the gantt chartThere were some changes in the gantt chart. At this time, I should be sanding all of the parts but I am now at the stage off painting. Plus, I am almost finished with my painting. I have now only left with the base.

EmotionsDuring this lesson, I was very careful in painting the light support. The light support was so close to the petals that it was very difficult to paint by not touching the surface of the petals. I was also being knowledgeable by mixing the colors. I was using the knowledge that I have learnt in art.

Learner Profile & AOIIn this lesson, I think I was knowledgeable because I was able to use my knowledge of mixing different colors to make another color. Not only that I was also a thinker because I was able to think what color I should paint in specific areas. Also, I think this lesson was related to community and service because I was helping others with the color choice.
