The Legend

Using oil pastels, I wrote the phrase "the Legend" repetitively going from left to right and top to bottom. The Legend is a nickname for my Grandpa who has been racing stock cars for 43 years now. He is very important to me along with the sport of racing. This was originally a piece of white paper and then the red squares were glued on to create a checkered board. Lastly, using different variations of orange, I painted the remaining white squares. Upon drying I glued the finished not-so-white piece onto a black piece of construction paper as a background. Can't wait for my Grandpa to see it!

Another way to do this, instead of using letters, is to draw pictures. Create a pattern or make it entirely random. I would do a school house because I'm going to be a teacher, a race car because it's a passion, things like hunting and fishing, etc. The list could go on!
