It is a paper mache hand that will slide out of an LEDed portal

This hand represents the consequences of your actions because Coraline made a bad decision

My goal is to create a representation of the book Coraline by Neil Gaiman

Conceptual Precedent

My conceptual precedent is for the wooden base. I liked how the hand stood out visually against the brown color.

I got my Technical precedent from this picture because I thought I could make something out of paper Mache.

Technical Precedent

I found this video about how to make paper Mache

Paper Mache is a way of making something by pasting thin strips of paper on to a frame something.

To do it you dip the paper into the paste and then plaster it onto the frame to make what you want.

Sketch

Before I decided to make the base out of wood this was going to be the 3d print.

This figure was made in Tinkercad

Iteration 1

This is my first attempt at making a box to slide the hand through, but it was too small.

Box iteration 1

This is the start of my wooden base.

Base Iteration 1

I used popsicle Stikes to make it then glued them together.

This was my original idea for the 3D model characters. However, they took way too long, and they look kind of bad. So, I created their weapons on a platform each representing each character, and they look much better.

Old

New

A lot of these letters look messy and I don't want to use this for Fessy Con. However, I have made the decision to put the text that I actually want over these letters and words. This can make my project look a lot more professional. This will be a major change for my project.

My original idea for the board game is shown in this sketch. However, I have changed the look of my characters dramatically. I have decided to only put each character as only a weapon. The weapon used for each character is the weapon that the character uses. I have also created the squares in a completely different pattern to make some structures with lots of space. I also got rid of one structure that I don't need. Most importantly though, I am only building the characters for the quest. I was going to build the monsters, but it is really hard to build all of this when I have an entire board game to build.

My Finished Project

In this project, I made a 3D map of the Island of Artime from The Unwanteds series by Lisa McMann. In the Unwanteds series, there are seven Islands, Artime being in the center. Going from west to east, the Islands are: The Island of Legends, The Island of fire, Warbler, the Island of Artime, the Island of Dragons, The Island of Graves, and the Island of Shipwreaks. I chose Artime specifically because it is where most of the series is based.

Artime and Quill

The island of Artime is split into 2 parts - Quill and Artime. They are on the same island, however, they are about as different as possible. Almost all of the Artimeins are Unwanted who were sent to death by Quill at the age of 13.

Every year in Quill, there is a "holiday" called The Purge, where all of the 13 year olds are sorted into three categories: Wanted, Necessary and Unwanted.

My plan for this project was originally much larger, with me trying to make 3D models of all of the islands, but between time and a lack of model magic, I was forced to cut back and just make a 3D map of Artime. On the next slide, there will be a picture of my sketch of Artime. The design has changed quite a bit since then though.

One challenge I had to overcome during this project was the lack of reacources and using them. The model magic did not come in until day three, so that set me back, and then later in the project I had trouble finding paint in the CCI, wich also set me back. Another problem I had with the model magic was molding it. At first, if was very hard to mold the model magic, but eventually I figured it out and was able to start putting it on. However, by that time it was already day 4.

Time chart: I have a very big project idea, so I am going to have to use my remaining time wisely. I am already a little bit behind because the Model Magic took a long time to arrive. I am going to do more of Artime than Quill, because there just isn't that much in Quill.

Day 6: Artime

Day 7: Artime

Day 8: Artime/Quill

Day 9: Quill

Timeline:

Day 1:

Day 2:

Day 3-4

I also made a board and sketched out there the model magic and structures will be.

Day 5

On day 7, I do not have a picture, because for some reason the picture got deleted from my computer, but on this day I finished model magic and painted Artime. On this day, I had 2 periods to work, so I got a lot done.

Day 8

On day 8, I painted the ocean. In this picture, the ocean is not finished, but by the end of class, it was done. I also painted part of Quill.

Thank You!!!!!!!

Today I finished my island. I added the eye of a Jumbie in the ocean like the book and the glowing eyes like the book. I also added houses to finish it off.

Last Day

Conceptual precedent

Technical precedent

My conceptual precedent is the island in the book because it is the closest thing to what I am creating.

My technical precedent is the island Trinidad which is the island the author grew up on, and it is also the island the book is based off of.

This is the inspiration for my island.

This is my sketch for the island.

This is the base of my island. That I made using model magic, and Tihans help.

Here is the ocean That I made with some of Evans help. I used multiple pants to shade then used hot glue to add texture like waves.

I painted my island then added grass!! Pt.1

Since I thought that the paint was not realistic enough I added grass. I am not finished with the grass yet, but I think in the end it will look good.

First here I painted a little of the island but I felt that is was not realistic enough.

Today I added the Sand to the island, and I will add one more thing so that people will know that this island is specifically from my book ( Which is just writing something down and just gluing one more thing.

Almost Done

I am making a Diorama of the main setting in the book. The diorama is going to be a cardboard base that I will paint, I will also have a 3-D - printed castle and crown to represent the Castle in the book and the King and Queen. if I have more time, I will make a LED light around the base.

Theisis

Conceptual Precedent

I got my Conceptual Precedent from this picture because it's like the one they dispirited in the book

Technical Precedent

I got my Technical Precedent from the magical castle in the book because it was the main setting and it made the people in the castle magic.

Sketch

This was my first Sketch. I tried to make a Castle

1st Iteration

This was my first iteration and I made a 3-D printed Castle and Crown because a castle and a crown resembles a lot in the book

Second Iteration

My second Iteration was making the cardboard surface because I had to make the surface with walls on the side.

3rd Iteration

My 3rd iteration was to paint the cardboard surface black and I will paint the top

4th Iteration

Next I painted the top and put a sticker with the name and Author on it. There is also a river

5th Iteration

Then I Hot glued the Castle and crown onto each other and then Hot glued it on the Cardboard

6th Iteration

After that, I made Cardboard cuts of 7 Because The main Character is a 7th son of a 7th son and I made LED's at the top but the LED's Burnt of.

7th Iteration



Then I took the LED's of and Hot glued a tree.

Final Project

Today we have nothing to do because the laser cutter and 3d printer was full

Day 2

Day 3

Today we decided to scrap the idea of doing Percy's pen/sword and do Thaliah's tree and we started making the base of the tree. We also drilled holes in the tree to start putting in branches.

Day 4

Today we make the branches and started the mid review

Day 5

Today I did a couple more slides on my mid review

Day 6

Today we I worked on painting the sword and Jack worked on the tree and added leafs.

Day 7

The CCI was closed today so we could not do anything today but on wensday we will hot glue the grass on

Day 8

Today we added the grass to the bottom of the tree and started working on our final review

Today we finished the tree and the sword and we finished the final review

Day 9

At first, we wanted to make Percy Jackson Pen/Sword but we realized it would be harder to make because everyone is trying to use the 3d printer. Then we had the idea to make Thaliahs Tree. It's really important to the book because it gets poisoned, So we want to make the tree half poisoned and half healthy.
