Collaborative Mural Project

So far, things have been going great in our collaborative mural project. John, Eric, Daniel and I have agreed upon an idea that has a lot of potential to add greatly to the cafeteria. We have decide to dilute paint and dip round sponges in said paint. We will then drop the sponges onto our canvas, cut a piece of realistic plastic fruit in half, and match up the color of the paint spatter to the color of the fruit. In a perfect world, this will look like somebody has thrown food at the canvas. Otherwise, we could try to pass it off as abstract. We are hoping for the former, but out painting techniques are risky and we could easily end up with the latter. Eric, Daniel, and I have already tested this method on paper, and the effect created is excellent.
