The Varnishing class recently completed the project of designing a board. This was a fun and engaging project that allowed students to showcase their creativity and attention to detail. The board has various functions such as being used in the classroom, as a gift or display. It was made with the aim of improving the skillset of the students and exploring various designs and techniques that go into varnishing.
The size of the board determined the amount of time and materials needed to complete the project. The student was required to conduct a range of research and create a design plan before commencing work on the board. The project is a testament to the growth and development of each student’s skillset from the beginning of the course.
Many students came up with unique designs with complex patterns and color schemes. The designs used a lot of negative space, allowing the rich colors to pop and improve the overall aesthetics of the board. The focus was on achieving the desired finish which showcased the depth and smoothness of the colors used in the designs.
During the project, students had access to a range of tools and materials such as sandpaper, spray guns, brushes, and different types of varnishes. The class practiced a range of techniques such as blending colors, glossing, and scuffing to achieve the desired finish. They also learned about the different types of varnishes, how to apply them, and how to troubleshoot common issues that can arise during the varnishing process.
After the boards had been completed, they were put on display for all the students to see. The class instructor provided feedback on each board, highlighting areas that could be improved, and praising the areas that were well executed. This feedback was key in helping students to refine their technique and improve their future work.
The project was a great success, with each board showcasing the creativity and skills of each individual student. The class learnt a lot about the varnishing process and the importance of good planning and attention to detail. The finished boards were unique and stunning, and showed the amount of dedication and hard work that went into every stage of the project.
Overall, the varnishing board project was a great success, resulting in unique and visually stunning pieces that demonstrated the skillset of the students in the class. It was an engaging and rewarding project that allowed students to explore their creativity and improve their knowledge of the varnishing process. Students gained valuable experience in designing a project, utilizing different tools, and improving their planning and attention to detail. The project also provided valuable feedback that helped to improve their technique and set them up for future success in the field.
