Hi! I made a tree book.

You can see what it looks like through the photo below. I am going to be
going over how I made my tree book. The process of making this tree book took two months. My class and I began on the work of are tree book the week of March 15th until May 15 when my class and our tree books were done. To make are tree books we enlisted the help of artist Peg Gignoux. (Her websitehttps://gignouxart.com/)

The first step in making our tree books was screen printing. What is screen printing it is when you use a brayer and roll on paint using stencils. Then we folded some big paper to look like a tree. Next was probably one of my favorite parts when we did akua ink. Akua ink is organic paint. We put an jelly like mat and added something out to it then put akua ink and and brayed it onto paper. We did a lot of akua painting. With all of those papers we collaged them onto are tree books. Then came stuff to put into are 3 pockets that we made for are tree book. First was a Salute to My Roots which if you don’t know is where the class choose people who they write a paragraph about, it can be more than one person. That was the first pocket completed. The second pocket was next, we made a life list of all the things we wanted to complete. Then third was a when this is over (Corona) poem. Then came the finally touches to add a wish to my tree book. After we where done with are tree book and they were getting ready to be sent to an art gallery we started the book Wishtree by Katherine Applegate. Finally, my book was in Frank Gallery.
