FINAL ASSESSMENT WORK 

I then made them into decorative ornaments

In order to successfully transform my box into a ship, I had to do extensive research on different ships and their different purposes and dimensions. In my three experiments, I serendipitously made my ships with no regard for measurements and dimensions. My final product required the proper measurements; I first drew out on a spare piece of paper and made a mini sized version of my final ship. I then made a real life-sized version of the bow of the ship and then traced it onto the cardboard of the box before cutting it out; I replaced the body of my ship with a red label whisky box for I was limited on time. The hot glue did not hold up as well as I wished so I ended up using double sided tape throughout the entire building of the ship. I made a ship because a ship essentially is a vessel; a container that carries something much more important than itself much like a box. The human body is a vessel, in the way that our body are a container that deteriorates in time but we carry something more important than our bodies, our message and our impact on others.

*My father ended helping me at the end by sticking on the little cabins and cannons for I had previously hurt my hand a little when I was trying to move a ladder.

And A LOT of double sided tape.

This is a video showing the process of how I made my experiments and as seen there is very little planning in each of the ships which I fixed up on my final product. All these experiments were made in my garage where my father set up a little space for me to do my art in, away from distractions.

Ship number 3: Definitely my least favourite out of all my experiments, hence the fact that I am trying to guillotine it. I felt like everything about the ship wasn’t working for me. The one thing I did enjoy out of the making of the ship is tiny oars I made it for I was trying a more a kayak vibe. The overall aesthetic did not please me however it did teach me the many things not to do in my final product which I am thankful for.

Ship number two: Ship number 2 as made from the same pizza box. This was definitely not my favourite and it always just reminded me of a wedge of cheese. Once again I did not enjoy the use of masking tape. In this experiment, was playing around with what kind of shapes I could make with the box and has seen I learnt not to make a ship the shape of a wedge of cheese because it doesn’t even resemble a ship anymore.
