Cardboard Progress Report

As I typed the title I felt like a second grade teacher sending a report home for the parents of a child mid-semester. Here is the progress your (cardboard creation) has made during the (duration of project).

The assignment is to take a natural object and recreate it - on a huge scale - using ONLY cardboard and Elmer's glue.

Here is my progress in chronological order:

{preliminary sketches}

{sketch with skeleton of shell and actual shell}

{shell with skeleton}

{skeleton with cardboard pieces giving it height}

{covering with craft paper to make it look smooth}

{applying pressure to make sure the bonds are strong}

{top of seashell taking shape}

{wet cardboard is MUCH more pliable than dry cardboard}

{tape holding the cardboard in place while the glue dried}

The cardboard seashell is due on Tuesday! I'll post final pictures then :)

Human Dot Photos

For this assignment we were to pick three photos from a newspaper and recreate them with only six black dots of any size. Wherever your eye led through the newspaper picture, your eye should lead through the dot creation. Here are my newspaper photos with the black dot pieces that correspond with them. (In order of personal preference)

After we talked about these, we were to just take two of our dot creations and take completely different pictures of our own and use people of the dots. I don't think I completely understood the assignment, but here are my photos - with people as the dots.
