Assignments #3: Cardboard and narrative element: telling your story!
Project #3 due date 9/20/2019 (2 weeks)
Cardboard and narrative element: telling your story!
Create a series of related objects made from cardboard and one narrative element (photo, or object), which together tell a story about you, your family, your neighborhood, or your feelings about today. Cardboard must be constructed using one of the methods demonstrated, sewn, woven, glue, tied etc. NO TAPE OR PAINT.
You must incorporate one other 2D or 3D element in or with the objects. These can be original (or Xeroxed) photos, magazine clippings, found object, projections, sound elements etc.. No single element can be larger than 10”. Your choice of materials, construction methods, finish, selection of found elements, and final arrangement should be consistent with the overall meaning and expression of the piece.
