Emely's Kite Building Experience

RIP SWISH CUT PLOP, building kites are not as easy as you think it is. It requires hard work and creative minds to think of different ways to design a kite. This project was very difficult to do but we still managed to do it. One part that was very challenging was making the sunset for the california style because we had to make different shades of orange and make sure they look like a light but dark orange at the same time, then we had to put it on the kite and blend it in to make the color look like its fading and then add the sun and make it look like its goes with the sky. The easiest part was writing the word california in script because it was one of those small easy details that made the kite look better. It was very frustrating when we had to keep doing the sunset, we redid the sunset at least four times.  I was ecstatic when we were finally done with the project because I was proud of my hard work. One thing we had to cut out from our kite was the pink and purple sunset so we just did a orange and yellow one. One thing that was difficult was making the ocean because we added the blue paint on the orange paint when it was still wet so we had to go over it a few times so it didn't dry into a color we didn't want. When you make a kite I suggest you first look up directions online first so you would have a clue on how to do it unlike us who just used our creativity.
