Skills Developed from it
| During this unit we were given the challenge of creating/shaping different artwork from a styrofoam cup thus creating an original art and create our own stand for it as a background piece. From this we were given exacto knives to help sculpt the cup, which in turn help not only develop skills in styrogami but also with sculpting with knives as well. We were also given glue guns and paper mache aswell to shape/create it. Now from this I know how to use/layer paper mache and create the paste as well which can be seen on the cardboard for it. |
Challenges i engaged and PERSIST through
While creating this there was a few problems that came across was using the exacto knives/blades when sculpting. The problem that occurred was when cutting with the blades they either created stiff marks or cuts taking up space or they made a piece or item to small and or thin. Another problem was with how cut out curved edges in the cup and getting the exact size wanted/needed for creation. Even though these were some common problems that I met I still moved on and tried my best to redesign/change it to fit the given new situation. Another challenge was the overall view of it since using 1 cup and shaping/cutting out add ons means that whatever side may look hollowed or emptied but still I enjoyed working through this unit even if it is not finished.
