- Research & Inspiration: Gather visual references, study artists who combine media, and note how different materials interact.
- Concept Development: Sketch three thumbnail ideas, choose one, and produce a detailed orthographic drawing with annotations of intended media.
- Material Selection:
- Structural core – balsa wood frame for lightness.
- Surface texture – plaster mixed with sand.
- Colour & finish – acrylic paint and resin glaze.
- Additional elements – wire mesh and fabric scraps.
- Construction Techniques:
- Build the wooden frame and secure joints with wood glue.
- Apply plaster‑sand mixture using a palette knife, sculpting desired forms.
- Embed wire mesh into wet plaster for added texture.
- After drying, paint base colours, then add resin glaze for depth.
- Attach fabric pieces with hot glue to create contrast.
- Evaluation Strategy:
- Check stability: ensure the piece can stand unaided.
- Assess visual impact: does the combination of media convey the intended concept?
- Document the process with photos for a reflective journal.
- Gather peer feedback and note any areas for improvement in future works.
