I changed the position of the fish because I decided that I liked it as a lying sculpture instead of standing. Also the tape broke, but I like it better this way.

This movie reminded me of our stop motion project but using paper to do the effect. Really interesting…

Too bad I didn’t actually make that word in a game. I would have gotten 136 points (between the double word score and adding 50 for using all 7 letters). One can dream.

For the material alchemy project, I made a venetian mask. I was inspired by the Carnival of Venice and thought that I would try to make a mask myself. I used newspaper paper mache to make the skeleton and I used my face as a mold so the mask fits my face. The mache part actually took a lot longer than I expected but it was fun! I needed help doing it though because I couldn’t see  once we started to mache. I painted the newspaper on the front and then used tissue paper and feathers to make the little head piece type thing with italian words ripped and glued to the inside of the tissue paper. I used foil and gold candy wrappers to make the designs on the mask and finished it off with some beads and material to tie it around your head. Overall, it was a lot of fun and I actually can use it/wear it if I wanted to.

In this tree, the base is made out of cardboard covered with tissue paper.  The trunk is cardboard covered with tin foil and the branches are paper clips covered with tin foil and stuck into the cardboard trunk.  The yellow stuff oozing out of the roots is hardened glue.
