Cardboard City, Week Five

First thing I noticed in the class today was that the windows on the far side of the room were covered in acetate and cardboard silhouettes, I thought they looked very pretty and whimsical, and then we were told we were going to have our own go at it. My group and I had a large window and two small ones next to it—the windows were covered in drawings from a previous group and we decided to leave them on to see what effects the acetate would have on the sketches. Whilst  sticking the acetate down, I didn't necassarily think about it. We started with large patches and as we went along they gradually became smaller, overlaying with the other patches to craeate new hues and tones.

Whilst I finished off the background with Tom, Heather and Elizabeth began cutting out windows and other shapes from cardbaord to place over the  acetate; they were all different sizes and after they were stuck down, Elizabeth and Haether cut out silhouettes of the first letter of our name which were stuck down along with the windows.

After this, I took mine and Elizabeth's cardbaord skyline and we used double sided sticky tape to stick it to the ledge at the top of the window. I really like my groups window art, I think it's my favourite piece from the whole project and I love the colours we've used.

In the second part of the lesson, my group and I went down to the computer suite to create a final video and edit together Heather's photographs from this weeks lesson. This was a great idea, in my opinion, because the time lapse I took during this lesson was too quick to decipher what the groups were doing; editing photos together recreated the video and it is now slow enough to decipher. 

I really enjoyed this part of the project.
