 | Since I was going to be unavailable for the actual creation of the boxes, I had to set up a complete resource for finishing the project without me. The Project wall contained instructions and examples, and the table had all of the art supplies needed. |
 | Conflict Shadow Box The Background Piece: Describe your conflict in one (artistically represented) word or phrase. What is your conflict about, simplistically? The Clear Front Piece: Depict the "shadow" cast by your conflict upon the world today. Represent the shadow metaphorically with a shape. Why does it matter now? The Wood Pieces and 3D Layers Inside: - The people involved (who?) - Location (where in the world?) - Time frame or timeline (when?) - At least two different perspectives - The nature of this conflict (THIS conflict through one of the lenses of the philosophy of conflict) - Title for your art piece (think lofty) - Something else you discovered in your research that you hadn't considered before (something that mad you say, "oh!") |
| Background: - Use 12"x12" cardboard - About 1/2" will be covered by wood around edges Wood Frame: - Decorate first, then assemble - Nail together like this: - Use a little wood glue when nailing it together Plexiglass Front: - Peel off blue stuff RIGHT BEFORE you paint - Put image under plexiglass - Squeeze paint carefully, spread with brush - Add more paint later if needed 3D Inside Pieces: - Add water to marker lines soon after drawing - Use "design vellum" (orange tablet) for translucent paper effect. If you use 1/2 sheet, put the other half back in the tub for others. - Use a thin but complete layer of glue to make more text show through - Tear edges, crumple, or roll paper for texture - Use other resources |  |
