14/6/2019 Day 18- Woke up after 4 hours from the previous night’s work, started on the first artwork, the 4 styles of Roman wall paintings. The 3 dimensional piece will be a small box consisting of 4 cardboard pieces. An example artwork of the corresponding style will be placed on 1 side and a brief history and description of the style on the other side.
For the box I had chosen to use a spent tissue box to fit the criteria of using recycled material.
After having more time for brainstorming a space efficient design, I had concluded to use only half the box for creating the final piece. As indicated by the images above, I drew an outline for my cut beforehand, in prevention of any avoidable mistakes.
The remaining piece of the cut box seemed too thick in width, occupying excess space that may obstruct other artworks in the future. Additionally, the exterior of the box proved difficult to color with the use poster colors due to its glossy texture and already present layer of color. As a solution, I turned the box inside out and painted the new exterior a shade of yellow.
