art class - update

I wanted to post pictures of the final product that was produced in art class. We did find a way to mount it - my husband got some spray adhesive and mounted it on foam core board. Then we were able to hang that up on the wall. It looks really good. I have taken some pictures and hopefully they will show the 3-D depth to this project.

These two side views will hopefully show the 3-D depth of this project. They took poster board and cut it into strips. These were then mounted on to the back of the project so that it would be raised up. 

The concept of this project was that each person started out with a piece of tag board. (On my son's project he used light blue.) They were studying lines in this art class. So the art teacher talked them through drawing certain lines. They had to use lines to divide their paper in half both vertically and horizontally. Then they drew a set or two of parallel lines. They did some diagonal lines. Lastly they added some triangles inside of their parallel lines. The inside of the parallel lines was shaded with both black and white. 

Then, they took their wonderful creation and cut out some of the shapes by cutting on the lines. This was the hardest -- you should have seen the kids faces - you want me to cut my work apart. What??? Those pieces were then laid out in a collage fashion on another piece of tag board. On my son's piece he used red tag board. This was then cut out following the odd shape the design made. You can see the red border going around on my son's piece. 

This cut out shape was then mounted one more time on a final piece of tag board so that it was lifted up from the background creating a 3-D affect. He used red strips to lift the piece up - these were mounted on the back of the piece. And you can view the red from the sides. He used a slightly darker blue as his final background color. 

It is hard to describe in words but hopefully the pictures will help to make it clear.
