My name is Fatima. My

painting was inspired by the

Cheshire cat in the newer

versions of Alice In

Wonderland. To see my

The first step in making the canvas for the painting

was measuring the wood so I could cut it.

The next step was cutting the wood with the saw. After I

cut it I sanded the edges to make sure it was smooth and

even.

After the wood was cut I assembled the frame then I

clamped it down and tightened it using the stretcher

bars. When it was clamped I put the glue in between

the cracks.

When the frame was dry I cut the canvas to the right size

and stapled it on the frame. Once the frame was stapled

I poured water on the back to help tighten the canvas.

When the canvas was dry I was able to sketch my

drawing and start painting.

This was the final painting.
