Blog 2: Art

2: It adds depth and 3-Dimensional to the painting and I could refer to the artists picture plane, white space is known as positive space when there is primary objects occupying it. A positive and negative space can affect how good the artwork will come out.

3:  Colour can show if it is bright or if it's dull, warm or cool and it depends on what end of the colour spectrum they are. purity or strength of a colour also matters, if you put to much or to little it will affect how you wanted the outcome to be.

The making of my sawhorse for VoT

Manufacture of a Sawhorse using Hand tools for my Building Construction Industry Trades Organisation qualification.


In term 1, 2021 I learnt how to use hand tools to manufacture a Saw Horse to a specific size from a set of drawings.This took about 6 weeks (24 hrs) I will explain how to make a sawhorse in this blog post


Here is my finished project.






This project was made by using hand tools only. No powered tools were used apart from a batterypowered drill to drill the holes for the screws.


I enjoyed Cutting the angles the most as well as the drilling


I found Measuring out the legs so they would sit flat the most difficult part.

I overcame this by laying it flat on the workbench and measuring it that way.


To make a sawhorse I carried out the following processes.


  • Marking out the top.

  • Cutting the joints



  • Hand sawing the leg ends.



  • Marking out / planing the legs





  • Fixing the legs



  • Attaching the end piece and support.

Because Miss G has changed how she teaches them, she has to raise their own money to do stuff like school trips and getting people all around to visit them, the school wouldn't give them any money to go on school trips or even buy them books. When Miss G set her mind on something she went after it, her class didn't want to leave her for junior and senior year so she vists the the board about it, to see if she could,
