NE/Queens exchange.

Hey, students from 5th period here! We finally finished our first project!
Yes! Yes! It took us very long to blend everything together from the original piece we received. Now, placing together the other artwork from other students is a whole different story. It was like putting a puzzle piece together but you don’t know what the whole piece looks like all together. Man it was hard. Putting everyone’s piece together was tough for us because of all the different designs we made. Everyone had different types of lines going all other the place while others had a constant movement.

In the end, we think it came out magnificent!

-Ha & Margarita 167!
