Final piece |
Using the collaging skills I learnt in the 3d projecting form topic, I used newspaper to create the basic structure before covering it with pages from the book. I did this for both the branch and the bird, using a reasonable amount of glue to make it strong. I attached the separate structure to the book by drilling a hole halfway through the book and fixing it in place with PVA glue which was surprisingly effective. In my original idea, I planned to collage colour pages from magazines to add more interest but as advised, I stuck to the black and white colour scheme. I think that this is effective because it is very simple, subtle and not too bold.
I found it quite hard to get the proportions right on the bird and next time I would spend more time researching how to get the shape more accurate. For my Marquette homework, I decided it would be too hard to make a miniature version of the whole piece so I just made the bird. from this I already knew it was going to be hard so I improved my method slightly by making the newspaper structure under the collage more smooth.
