INTRODUCTION
In my Art Culture class,we were faced with the challenge of creating a three dimensional assemblage that would show an event/theme related to our life or a dream or aspiration we have (or had) using a variety of different materials and try to incorporate them in a box/container in a way that would mix several different techniques or skills such as collage,silk screening,etc.
MATERIALS
-Shoe Box -Coloured Paper
-Tin Tray -Glue
-Cereal -Acrylic Paint
-Tin Foil -Hot-press Board
-Tissues -Blue transparent Trash Bag
-Bottle Caps -Coloured Elastic Bands
-Scotch -Pencil
-Scissors -Cutter
CONCEPTUALIZATION
Right from the get-go,I knew I wanted to incorporate the Museum of Islamic Art located in Qatar in my project because I grew up in Qatar and it's a structure that always caught my attention when walking by that area.One day in particular,while having breakfast,I was particularly missing walking by the sea next to the museum,so I came up with a couple of concepts:
PRODUCTION
FINAL PRODUCT
CONCLUSION
Overall,I am pretty happy with my creation.I feel like my two sole intents,which were to recreate a structure resembling the Islamic Museum of Art and to make the bottom layer look like an underwater world using some decorative space,were achieved better than I expected.Another aspect of this project I'm proud of is the good use of time management in such cases where,for example,while letting the columns dry I would work on the cereal layer.However if I were to change something from the production process,it would be to have painted the bottle caps only once they were fully assembled into the pillar structure.Finally,I'm also satisfied with my use of various materials applied in creative ways that actually tell the story I wanted and I aspire to have more opportunities in which to reach a certain goal or meet a certain criteria using multiple means (hopefully involving more digital resources).
