I love the sport of rowing, and this was taken about a week before my international showcase event at the US U23 National Regatta. I took this photo and then saturated it to a black and white copy.
I pixelated the picture, and then was able to convert these colors into the 10 basic colors that were used in the gray scale copy. This conversion helped create a "paint-by-number" grid for me.
Originally this was supposed to be on a bubble wrap board, that was filled with tape. However, the bubble wrap was not as co-opperative as one may think, and no one wanted to sell needles for me to inject the bubbles....minor problems.
SO I then took the advice from class and reached for the candy!
I was able to find 10 different colors of skittles, and these were to now be my pixels on the bubble wrap board. The project was done by using Elmer's glue and Skittles across the board to create the image of me in my single scull. The project took FOREVER, and was very misleading, for when we looked at it from this view, nothing was really sticking out as shape or form.
However, Soon enough when you take a step back, and exam the whole grid...the image definitely popped out and said what uppp. (Over all the grid turned out to be 54 pixels across by 41 pixels down).
