15th of June
9am I met the scaffolders in the induction room of the Skanska office and after a brief induction we were able to start on site. The scaffolding was up in 3 hours and I was able to start with my work. Firstly I covered and protected all the hand railings incase of damage and collected an overhead projector from the school.
I began with setting up the tree proportions and drawing onto the wall and ceilings. This wasn’t an easy task as the light in the staircase was to bright and you could hardly see the projected image, also the staircase space was not wide enough to achieve the required angle and the positioning of the projector. I decide it to wait until it got darker and tried to black out the windows using black sheeting found on site, which I believe is used for roofing protection… after hours of playing around with the perspective of positioning the image on the walls and ceiling I decide it to scrap the projector and continue by hand. I left site at 10.30pm that evening.
